Hello everyone,
This is my first question here(I did a search first ) I have a discovery II with 18" tires but need to replace them. I searched for some on tirerack and discount tire but could not find what I am looking for. I was told by some guy friends to get an all terrain tire but could not find any. Can anyone help me here? I did see a few posts with this question but no real answers other than to buy 16" wheels and tires but I don't want to do that because my 18" wheels look pretty. Yes, I am a female. LOL. I am looking for a nice looking tire that is good in the snow too.
Thank you,
Tanya

 

Tanya,

If you actually look at the tire manufacturer's websites, you will find that there are several tires available in the 255/55-18 size. For some reason the tire size search features at Tire Rack and America's Tire don't show them. I think that even on the manufacturer's sites, you have to select a tire, then go to the data sheet and size chart for that tire.

I too have the 18" wheels (though I will most likely change to the 16s next tire change). I am running Toyo Open Country AT tires and have been happy with them. I know also that Nitto makes the Terra Grappler in that size.

Regards,
Elliot

 

Tanya,
Consider going to a Bridgestone tire store and look at their line of Dueller tires, they are a good tire and last well.

Thanks Mike and Elliot. Are these All Terrain tires? I'm going on my 3rd set of tires and want a beefy tire or those knobby looking ones that are also good in the snow instead of the ones I have now, just a regular tire. I want ones that you sometime see on those raised 4x4's.

Tanya,
BridgeStone makes a Dueller tire that will have a good sturdy tread, I ran a set a couple years back prior to going to 16" tires and had good results with them.
Good luck and let us know what you got.
Mike

 

Thanks for your reply's. Can anyone post a picture of their tires here. I want to see what they look like. I've seen some tires that I like on some LR but don't know what kind they were. Hope to see some pics if someone can help me. Thank you again.

 

Tanya,
Did you ever find a set of tires?

Thanks samue23, but I'm looking for an All Terrain tire. Disco Mike, no luck yet. Maybe Santa will get me some for Christmas!!!

 

Hi, I've had some general grabber 255/55/18 AT2's since they were launched about 18 months ago. Good At tyre and last well too!!
They're the only AT tyre in the UK of this size.
