Experience w/Disco I w/ 245/75-16 vs 265/75-16?
#21
I have a TR front bumper and a winch and I load a ton of crap in the back of my Disco I.
Was planning on getting the mediums all around, should I go with light?

If you're keeping the sway bars I'd go light. Even "light" is much firmer than stock. It'll ride smoother, sit a tad lower for 245/75, and articulate with more even tire pressure.

Yup. My trail truck rides pretty rough unloaded, but rode like a Cadillac with 3 people, all our camping gear, and three bikes on a hitch rack. HD RTE springs.

Wow – Thanks for all the feedback, especially since it’s a big investment for me. I especially liked the pics, nice set up with both sizes.
I just finished installing a 2” TerraFirma medium lift last night, notable improvement over original suspension (anything would be) and it now handles like a completely different vehicle, and gone is the high speed death wobble. It looks funny with 235’s, …but not too awkward.
After everything here’s how I’m leaning: I like the look of 235’s and the off road advantage they offe, ,but if I use them I would re-gear first. There were too many, “ I went from stock to big and lost performance” posts here and elsewhere. Given I want to maintain performance, I’m not re-gearing at the moment, and the look with the 245 is still good, I will be going after 245/75-16. Thinking about Destination A/T's.
Will post a pic.
