Default Tire time

So I am beginning the search for new tires. I am not going with the lift. As a full time student, it just isn't plausible to drop almost 2k to put new tires on. I have heard/read that 265/65r18 will fit with now problems. I have also heard, go the 265/60r18 route. Guys for the money, and for me to have no problems on some trails/snow/mud/rain, what is my best option. Ill be spending some time in North Carolina this winter and most of the summer. I need to find something very dependable on and off road.

Thanks guys.

I got265/65r18 Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armour on my 03 disco. I think they are great. On road not to noisy, off road awesome! Yet to try em out in the snow and ice though. Retail with install is about $1100, but I got mine for $800 cash. Good tires.

I have been looking at the Falken Rocky Mountain ATS..They seem to get good reviews. I was really looking to get something in the $150-175 range. I'm just not happy that the 265/65r18 Guard Dog from Treadwright isn't available right now.

I went with the Yoko Geolander AT/S. So far so good. Did through Tire Rack and used the local Goodyear installer who did everything for $20 per tire all in. Not noisy on the road, handles nice and no issues thus far. Went off road twice and they dug in very nice when needed. Got to try them in the snow for the first time last week:

I just put nitto tera grapplers on mine in the stock size 255/55/18 and so far have been very happy with them. Winter will tell the story on how good these are.

No, you will rub all over the place. I didn't even want to go 265/65/18. 265/60/18 looked to be the biggest with stock suspension without cutting/modding any bumper parts, etc.
