Default 2000 DISCO II TYRE suggestion---

hi

For Disco II 2000 model, which tyre is the best one for regular commute and occational wet drive? . At present it has GOOD Year gave me around 38K miles. I need to change the front tyres.
Can I use Michelin in the front and GOOD YEAR in REAR?.

Any performance review? info will be great.

thanks
kris

I put Falken tires (Ziex S/TZ 04) my 2000 Disco II with 18 inch rims. Awesome driving and have gotten 50k miles out of them with no uneaven cupping that happened on Good Years at about 20k. Very good and very reasonable price.

Not knowing if you have 16" or 18" wheels I can't get specific with sizes but consider the BridgeStone Dueller line. They make an H rated directional tire that is very quiet, has good traction, loves water and will give you alot of miles.
It is a little hard on a 4wheeler to run tires of 2 different sizes, even 2 new and 2 old, might consider 4 tire and rotate them so you get more even wear.

do not mix old and new wheels, i read that even the small amount of wear will cause the center diff to wear quickly

As long as it is the same wheel, new or used, this will not be a problem. If people will keep their air, ft/rear, the same, this will really cut down on the wear. My 265's gain 1/2 inch in height between 22#'s and 35#'s, so what ever you do run your tires the same.
Do you have any ideas what you are looking for yet?
Mike
