Wolf wheels and Michelin xzl

[Pinkfoot]

Does anyone know the best place to get these from?

I like this combination on my 110.

I used to get xzl's from Witham SV. They'd send them out individually or on a half pallet for four. I'd think they'd be a good bet for Wolf rims too.

Thank you for your replies.

I had a set of five from a mate ,with wolf wheels , for £350 .

They were on my Hicap when she got chored , so I want some more but they seem expensive .

Seems like I had a good deal and did not know it

The standard 'heavy duty' Land Rover rims also known by some as wolf rims (the dealers use this word to make them seem more valuable!) come in two differing types; tubed and tubeless. The valve hole will let you know visually and there is a stamp on the rim as well.

Just for your information. Personally I'm not bothered but fitting quality Michelin tubes into the tube type will give long service life.

XZLs are seriously expensive these days, sadly. I've just got a new set via of 7.50 x 16s from a mate who works for Michelin and even at mates' rates (well below what a dealer would pay) they work out about a hundred quid each.... The best deal I've seen is from Black Circles at £135 each for 7.50s and £123 for 205 R16.

If you have tube type rims they'll have a 15mm valve hole and you need a tube with a TR15 valve (or a TR13 with an adapter). If it's a tubeless rim it'll have a 13mm hole (and a slightly different rim well profile) and you can use it tubeless with a normal valve, or tubed with a TR13 valve. My XZLs are on standard Defender tubed rims with TR15 tubes - even if I had tubeless rims I think I'd run them tubed for preference for off-road use. The XZLs are rated for either fitment. Agreed about Michelin Airstop tubes - they're very good. The trouble is finding them for 7.50 16 tyres!
