I've been thinking of picking up a stock set of 16" wheels for a Disco2 and having them powder-coated in a matte black. It'd probably complement my silver truck nicely, and would go very well with an ARB bumper...

Keep in mind that I have not bought any tires from any of these guys and compare the shipping charges too.
I have found that while one place was cheaper on the tire it actually cost more after shipping.

Here is my question on the subject of the OP, why do you want mud tires for on-road? Have you ever driven mud tires on the road? The noise alone is horrible and then add in a rougher ride and worse fuel mileage. All the negatives to mud tires on road don't add up, regardless of rim size. Which bring me to another point, you're taking your already rough riding mud tires and putting them on a large wheel that reduces your sidewall height and makes them ride rougher. I like the looks of the wheel you posted but would highly recommend an all-terrain tire instead of mudders. I ran 33x12.5 BFG mud terrains on an 85 GMC pickup with the diesel and could hear the tires over the engine going down the road.

No worries! We all have those days...
I like www.discounttiredirect.com, and their tires are all FREE SHIPPING! Well, I suppose it's not really free but rather they build shipping into the tire price, whatever. I have bought from discounttiredirect.com and was very pleased.
I've got the infamous Wranglers on my Disco, and they're starting to cup so I'll be replacing tires soon. I'd like to go up a size, to 265/60/18, but I didn't see much offered there in that size.

I just went to your site...found a tire that I have been interested in, the reviews were good on that tire, so we will see.
It was $420 shipped for the Hankook Dynapro ATM, $20 per for mounting and balancing...might be cheaper to buy at my local Discount Tire, I will have to call and see.
Great site though, adding it to my bookmarks.

Just to put my 2 cents in here, I have had horrible luck with Toyo tires. They are great for the first 15K to 20K, but then they wear unevenly. If you add 20's to a D2 that likes to cup on the inside anyway, I am not sure how they will hold up. I even had them wear funny on the back of a 1 ton dually.
Haven't ran them on a disco yet, and everything runs differently on different vehicles, but I do know that my Cooper Discoverer ATR's had tread left when I changed them at 50K.
