This is good to hear, about the KM2s. Those will be my next set of tires, I made the commitment when I bought my spare, haha.

What do you recommend for finding a good alignment shop? I have no dealerships within about 200 miles of here, and some of the local shops seem hesitant to touch a Rover. Consequently, I am hesitant to let them.

Edit, I hope you took my joke well. Once a week is not bad. However if I were going to even consider a camel cut I'd go for at least a 33" tire. 32s will get you plenty far and certainly don't require a full camel cut. Tire size is the one time I envy my friend's Landcruiser, he has 255/85s on stock suspension, and could fit larger.

After i got my tires I figured I could go 33's..only thing...you will need extended bumpstops with them cause you will hit your top inner fender at full articulation

Old school Land Cruisers are AWESOME....factory diff locks

I would think that the 235/85s you might could get by trimming just the inside of the rear fender since they are thinner .

Yeah, that's how it looks at least. That's really what got me thinking it was more a width issue than a height issue, though I admit now that both come into play.
