anyone know the specs of those bfgoodrich tires? I was searching online for 16" bfgoodrich tires for my disco and no bf results came up! like their catalog did not reconize any bf tires as compatible with my vehicle! My boss has a rubicon with 17" bfgoodrich tires and they are very aggressive looking tires. They almost look like swampers. Anyways he claimed they have good rating on snow and ice?! I always though that aggressive tires were bad on ice.

The ones in that photo are the BFG All terrain K/O. A horrid tire, over priced and under-delivers. The BFG KM2 Mud terrain is a great tire however, but it does not work great on ice or snow.

The BFGs AT/TAs were good on ice in AK, but no, not cheap.

Depends on what you're looking for. How many inches are you looking for on height? Most don't go over 32" with stock gearing and shafts.

I'm not really sure. Don't know squat about tires... just know that I need an aggressive tire that looks good with my TF 2" lift, is good on snow and ice, but does not rub aginst my front bumper. I'm not looking for a huge tire but something beefy. Both tires suggested above looked good but the at/ts don't have the snow rating. So far I'm liking the BFGOODRICH commercial traction tires you suggested Zack. But when I put in my vehicle make on tire rack no results came back for those tires. I just dont understand how the sizeing works with them. I plan on getting a winch and safari rack later on and occasional off-roading but nothing to serious. no builder climbing. Lots of highway driving to.

265 75 r16 is a decent size. That's what a friend of mine is running on his DII with the TF 2" lift.
