I have the same question. I have the 2" lift and was origionally going to put some 275/65/18 but they rub the control arm when fully turned. I am going with 265/60/18?? Any thoughts. I have 18 " rims and no $$ left to change them so that is what I have to stick with. BTW I am looking at the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armour

My speedo is exactly 5mph fast but my OD is exactly dead on.
Is your OD right with the larger tire?

I'm running the Hankook 265/65/18 and am very pleased. I had Wranglers on my truck before, and hated them. I have heard that others love the Silent Armor tire, but I have no experience with it Your options are very limited in good tires that come in 18" size, but you really ought to look at the Hankook that I posted about earlier in this thread.

Hey Bryce, I like the look of the Hankooks and have been contemplating upsizing my 18's as you have done rather than purchasing 16" rims and tires. If I did any offroading, I would consider the 16's more, but I just do not have the time.

Do you by any chance have any full side-shots of your Disco to demonstrate how the upsized 18's fill the wells?

Much appreciated.

Bryce,
I too would like to see a pic of your Disco from a profile shot. You have the same tire size I am getting and would like to see how it looks. I would love to drop my rim size to a 16" as there are surely many more options but I cannot right now.
