I just got the Bridgestone revo 2 A/T tire and they are surprisingly quite. I stuck with stock size 255/55/18.

I have the toyo open country a/t as well in stock size and they have been great. I have about 20k on them and have been impressed with the wear, and they did great in the snow last year.

Toyo Open Country's are a good tire. If you like an aggressive look, also take a look at the BF Goodrich Rugged Terrains. I have a set on mine that are 265/60R18. Good size that compliments my 2" OME lift well. I'll be going bigger (265/65R18 or 275/65R18) when it's time to get new tires, but I like the way the look now just fine.

They look pretty meaty and aggressive, but they're quiet as a mouse on the road. And they handle snow, dirt, rocks, and mud pretty well. They're not wearing too fast either. I could post a pic or two if you'd like.

What I really wish I could have is a set of Michelin XLs. But that's not going to happen. Oh well.

I have the Toyo Open Country M/T and have had no issues in snow or ice with them.
They actually are darn quiet for off road tires. Much quieter than my old BFG A/T.





These are on a 2in OME lift but on 16 rims though so sorry for no help on tire size

32" is about as large an OD as you can go without a significant loss in power, though there will be some. But even in my 3.9L '95 it's not bothersome. To others it might be.
You don't need lockers with them.
The narrower you go the less the loss in power and mileage.

hahahe why is it if someone has a 16" rim and need tires they also have a 2" lift when looking for tall tired but NO ONE with an 18" rim in stock suspension ever wants a larger tire? I want the largest size tire i can go with on stock suspension height as Im not ready to spend 2k on lift and tires but new tires could be coming soon! I have the 18" stock SE wheels on my 03 disco SE .. I hear people saying well those are more expensive but then I think new rims are too expensive too! lol so how tall can I go with a tire and still use stock height suspension? lol there is every tire size and setup posted except this simple answer lol anyway.. jsut frustrated... been looking for about a year but no answers seem to be full for this setup even though I dont think the SE was sold in very limited production with 18" wheels! lol

Before I had my lift, I ran my 265/60R18s without any issues whatsoever. That's as big as I would go on stock suspension.
