Land Rover 10spline axles and bigger tyres...

Hello!

I have RRC with stock 10 spline axles, that both are in good condition.

I have been thinking about running my car with bigger 235/85-16 tyres. (BFG Km2 or Cooper STT) in overland use.

The weight of the vehicle is about 2600-2800kg when fully loaded.

I have fully rebuilt powerline including both transmissions with shorter defender gearing that drops the gearing about 15% compared to orginal gearing.

so the question, either go in close stock tyre sizing or or choose bigger tyres, will the axles hold?

an ideas, experiences?

The earlier defenders and landrovers ran 10 spline if you drive as you should , then not really a problem (235/85 is equiv to 750x16 ) . Bad technique will break just about anything . HTSH
