Default All terrain tires

I was looking at the bfg ko tires for the 03 disco however I have been finding they don't come in stock sizes for our disco

what tire size are you running on stock suspension??

I've run 265/65r18s on stock suspension without rubbing. Some people report minor rubbing. That's the same size as 265/75r16s pretty much.

If you want no risk of rubbing, go for 265/60r18s or 265/70r16s. Personally I'd go for the next size up (listed above) though.

Also, any reason you want BFGs in particular? You can get Fallen Wildpeak AT3Ws for a lot cheaper, and I personally like them better. I have two sets (on separate vehicles) right now. I expect to get 45-50k out of both sets, they're more quiet than the BFGs, and I've yet to get stuck on them. Great road manners, too. I can't speak highly enough of them.

Keep in mind with the 265/75R16 you’ll be going 3-5 mph over your speedometer’s speed. I’ve noticed this on my Disco.

I prefer the Cooper Discovery Maxx myself, BF Goodrich are not as nice on wet roads.

I'm running the Falken 265/75/16 .I've had many different style tires on multiple vehicles and honestly, I believe these are the best tires I've ever had. They wear perfectly, they do AMAZING on wet roads (no jerk in the wheel or hydroplaning), 8.5/10 on snow and ice and haven't had them on the trails so can't give any rating .

My vote goes to Goodyear Duratracs. Great tires.

I have the 18 inch rims so I'll be sticking to stock size
I will be buying something soon as it's required to join the off-road club for event lights trailing etc

If you're going to be doing any off roading then I'd recommend going up in size. Especially since you've got 18' rims.
