Default 2" lift and tires.....dont shoot me!

So i know there are plenty of posts out there about what tires fit on what with lifts or not. I would like to get opinions of what to run. I am going to install the Terrafirma 2" medium duty lift. I have those evil 18" rims and dont really have an option to go to 16's right now. Whats a good tire to run on the 18's thats fairly aggressive but not going to need a loan to buy 4? thanks!

Take a look at this link, helped me out nicely. Basic Tire Information - Land Rover Forums : Land Rover and Range Rover Forum

I'm running a 32" with no rubbing on stock height and like the size> just keep in mind you will need to modify the tire carrier on the rear door to get it to fit or by an adapter.

There is nothing wrong with 18" wheels, in fact there are a lot of choices. Only downside is they're more expensive than 16". I had 16" and changed them out to 18's.

265/65r18 is the size I'm running right now. Its 31.6" diameter (give or take depending on brand) and fits a 2" lift very well. It's also the size that comes stock on a Silverado, so most tire stores will have some in stock and prices should be reasonable both new and used.

I have the 2" TF lift with Goodyear Duratrac 265/65 18. They are expensive but very worth it. Not loud but have a nice aggressive look. Does rub some at full lock and on the factory step mud flaps.

I have Hankook Dynapro 275/65R18's and the only rub I get is in reverse...it slightly rubs the mudflap at full crank.
