RE: Tire Load Rating/Service Description for Disco?
The Grabbers are only available in 10-ply at that size...what do you run on yours?
I have looked at and considered the Cooper ATR as well...not as much info available on them, but they seem like a decent option.
However, what I really need to know is whether or not I need or should avoid a 10-ply tire...

Most times the 245/75/16 is chosen because its 31" tall and off road its side wall is better so you can air down the tire and still not get a flat.
With a little off roading I would get the lighter tire as it will not cost you in gas or longer braking distance as would the heaver tire.

Does anyone know if I can run the 255/70R16 tire without rubbing? I read in one post that these tires may rub on a Disco, but I do have a 2" OME lift installed on my DII.

After talking to a rep at Tire Rack this morning, I'm reversing course and think I'll be getting the 255/70R16 AT2s. Please let me know if there's something I'm missing or should know before moving forward. Again, I do I have a 2-inch lift on the Disco, and I do not tow (don't even have a hitch on the truck), so I -think- the size and load rating should be fine for me... ??

Hi Andrew - I just got the 255/70-16 Grabber's a few weeks ago. At the time, the suspension was standard and they did not rub at all. Now, I have OME HD springs a shocks and they look awesome. I don't really have a problem with inflation...I run 44 in the back and 40 up front and the ride is great as well as the gas mileage.
Stop thinking about it and get them!!

I just went through the same dilemma. I ended up with the 245/75/16 BFG A/T tires in the load range E variety. Smooth ride and a little extra ground clearance for the trails this summer. A bit worse on the gas mileage around town, but they look good.
