Default Tire size for a Discovery 1

Hello, I'm buying new tires soon for my 1996 Discovery, I'm looking at Goodyear Wrangler MT/R in 245/75 16. My Disco is stock, my question is will these tires fit?
Thanks

Thanks guys I was pretty sure they would be ok but I wanted the opinion of someone that has more experience than me.
I will be getting new shocks and springs soon. I'm looking at OME medium springs and Bilstein shocks. Is this a good combo? Will there be any lift from the springs?

You will get about a 1" lift by replacing the worn out springs.
How much are those tires going to set you back? Any rebates on them right now?
Where are you buying them from?
I am in the market for new rubber that is why I ask.

I have the exact same tires and size on my 96 Disco. They fit perfect. I own a used tire yard so I get these for a really good deal :-)

The tires will be $676 for all four. I'm getting them at Tirerack.com. I'm lucky because there is a distribution center here, I can pick them up and not pay shipping.

Shipping will be about $70, at least that is what it has been running in my online shopping.
Let me know when you have 4 please.
