It's time for new tires. I'd like soemthing a little taller than stock but won't be lifting at this time. I may eventually go with heavy duty Land Rover springs when I finally upgrade the suspension, but that won't be for awhile.

My question is, will 245/75-16 tires fit OK on my stock truck? It's a 1999 Discovery II. Thanks!

 

They will work well with little or no rubbing.
Don't go to Rover coils, they are expensive and not that good. Consider a good OME lift when you get ready.

 

Thanks, Disco Mike. Would the 2" OME kit look OK with the 245/75 - 16s?

 

Yes. If you are not doing any heavy wheeling the OME medium duty lift would be great and the tires would look fine.

 

Just so you know, I put 245/75/16 Goodyear Wrangler Authority A/T on my 00' D2 and did some wheeling and they seem fine. I am in your boat and can't do a lift yet but wanted tires. I don't believe I fully articulated the suspension but HAD to be close and there was no rub. Hope this helps!

 

I looked very seriously at the Authority, which can only be found at Walmart, and it is an awsome tire.

 

Yes, the price was fair and so far the tire is great. Low road noise and good grip for being an A/T. I did a lot of looking into the TreadWright's but have noticed their tire prices went up about $20 a tire....add the shipping and it wasn't too much less than the price of the Goodyear's from Walmart.

 

I rand 245/74's on my truck when stock. Much easier to find decent tires at a reasonable price as opposed to the stock size.

 

Anyone try this yet? I am thinking about putting on a 2002 Disco II...?

 

any reviews on these tires yet? what do you think of them?
