Three pieces of advice....
1) Download the manuals... https://www.cubby.com/pl/LR3+worksho...0Discovery%20I
2) Check out the sticky thread at the top of the D1 section
3) Use the search function.

35s! Go big or go home! Lol. Get to know the truck, read up and make sure it's mechanically sound and mod to your taste or needs.

Thanks everybody! Went from 255/55r/18 to P265/75r/16. Any recommendations on the rear tire?
