Ill look at the links you guys posted. Thanks much.

The tires on the Maz trucks appear to be the 24R21 super singles on planetary hub axles. They are also known as "balloon" or "floatation" tires which provide a relative larger footprint for traversing in snow/ice or desert sand conditions.

Thats a series I, slightly different size, too narrow for D2 wheels probably, 6.00-16.

Maybe those tires are these:

Do you daily drive the DII? Or do you mostly drive the VW? How many miles have you put on the XZL's?

My disco is my daily driver, as for how many mile on my tires i never paid attention. I did have them on for about 2+ years. That being said i do take wheel quite frequently and when i take my family on long trips (4hrs or more) 90% of the time we take the disco. I don't have them on currently because they pretty much have no tread left except for the spare.
I do plan on buying a new set though, they run around 2k for a set of 5 if i remember correctly.

Yeah, I was just wondering how long they last. I've got a pretty new set on my 90, except the spare, and I was wondering if I need to get some street tires (all terrains, or something) for it or if they'll hold up to street use too. I hardly drive it, so it's not a huge issue.
