Default Tire Question

I've been reading great things about the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armour, and am thinking about them for my next set of tires. (90-95% on road driving/ 5-10%light off road but need good snow traction I travel a 10% grade daily that turns very nasty in the winter).

My current tire size is 255/55R18 (Michelin HTs - great for highway nothing else). I noticed the closest fit for these was 265/60R18, would these fit a stock '03 Disco? Or does anybody have any tires they'd recommend (I'm sticking with the 18-inch hurricanes, because this truck won't see any real dirty playtime for a couple of years). I had the BFG Radial Al Terrain TA/KO's on my Jeep and loved them but they killed my mileage. Trying to find the best of both worlds.

I just got these installed:

So far I concur with those other Land Rover drivers as far as the value, roadholding, braking, wet traction,steering and quietness. Cannot comment on wear rate, snow or ice traction yet.

You'll need to select "Land Rover" from the drop-down box (Filter by Vehicle) to see the reviews from Land Rover drivers.

At's by any tire company will not kill your gas mileage, going up a couple sizes may.

I too was running the Toyo Open Country AT (255/55R18). It was a great tire. Quiet, wore great, tough. They did well off road in places where other tires got cut up.

Now I just upgraded to 16" wheels, Went with the Toyos again. This time I went a bit oversize to LT245/75R16. This is a really rugged looking tire!

I've got the Toyo's as well, but I've got some wheel rub on the inside fender - what's the best solution for this?
Thanks,
