Default Disco 2 Tires

What is the largest tire size that I can fit on a stock D2 with the 18" Hurricane wheels? I'm not a fan of lifting the car but slightly larger tires would be nice.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I ran 265/65r18s stock for several months before I lifted with no issue, even at full articulation with both sways disconnected. ANY bigger than that would have scrubbed, but that size caused absolutely no issues. That puts you at almost a 32" tire.

I'm running 265/60r18 Discoverer AT3's on mine with no lift and I don't have any rubbing. It's pretty close though. But, you wont have an issue unless you go much bigger than that

I'm running 265/65/18's like Alex, no rubbing unless I crank the wheel all the way to the steering stop for a tight turn. Then I get a slight rub.

Yep, I'm running Cooper AT3s, same as erick846.

Interesting, I don't rub at all even at full lock. What kind of tires are you running, ArmyRover?

Glad I found this thread... Search actually works on this forum. Every single time I've searched on any other forum, I've never found what I was looking for and this popped up as the first result!!!

BTW, I am about to try some 275/65R18's on my Disco II. They are Ironman M/T's....

If it's stock I would expect rubbing, isn't that a 32.1" tire?
