Default Disco 2 Tire decision Help

Ive got an 04 DII currently running an OME 2" lift. 18" wheels Trying to decide what tire to step upto. I have seen a few trucks with 265-65-18 ko2's that I loved.. but they are so expensive in that size for some reason.

Does anyone run 255-70r18's? I would like to see what the truck looks like with that true 32" tire under it.

Any suggestions?

Just get those falken wildpeak at3's dude. All I see are rave reviews on them and I think they're significantly cheaper than the KO2's

This is on 16's but 31.7" overall on a 2" OME to give you a rough idea on stance. 265/75 Cooper discoverer at3... Awesome tires by the way

Definitely second the Falkens. If you use the search bar you should be able to pretty easily find a review I posted on them recently.

Falken AT3! I love mine. I have the 265/60/18 on TF 2" lift.


They are 3-peak snow rated as well. No more snow chains for me in the mountains!

I just installed 33x12.5 and couldn't be happier with the Toyo R/T

Those tires look great!! What lift do you have? Is it sluggish with those big tires?

Just for the sake of variety I thought I'd throw in another option for you.

I just bought a set of 16x7 aluminum bmw wheels for $120, and a set of treadwright warden 235/85r16's for $444

Will get pics of everything mounted up, should all be ready by the end of the week. I'm also running ome 2" springs

I have the factory 18" hurricanes and had, for lack of cheap 16" rims, decided to get the Falken's like others have suggested. I really don't think you can go wrong with that route. They have pretty much universally positive reviews both practically and technically. However, I really really like the skinny/tall tire that is synonymous with land rover, and treadwrights have a phenomenal reputation in recent years, super tough tires.
