I wanted to go with the Pirelli P7 Classics, identical to what came on the car from the factory but they were backordered across the country for months.
One of my Land Rovers has 16" wheels. Only two or three choices. Last Christmas it needed tires. I ordered Yoko Geolanders from Discount Tire. When I went to pick it up they told me they couldn't mount the tires due to a manufacture warning not to do so on original Land Rover wheels. Would have been nice to know when they had the tire as a fit on the website.
