I need to get new tires on my 2002 Discovery II. It is stock and I am wondering if 265/60/18 will fit without any modifications? I am concerned that these may rub.

I live in a ski town in Colorado and we get a lot of snow(300+ inches). If the 265/60/18 will fit I can not decide between the Hankook ATM RF10's or the Goodyear Silent Armor's. The Goodyear are more expensive but are rated for severe winter driving conditions? The Hankook's get great reviews but I have never run them on a vehicle before.

Any insight would be much appreciated.

Thanks

 

Your truck's suspension has dropped since new and that tire size won't cut it.
Are you planning on keeping the same tires on year around, if so I would suggest you go to a 245/75/16 and buy the Good Year Dura Trac, they are a much better all season tire and will far out perform any 18" in the snow.

 

I run 245/75/16 E rated ProGrade Goodyear Silent Armors (I know you are looking for 18s), and they are rated for severe winter driving conditions (look for the snowflake inside the mountain symbol). I had no problem last winter in Washington State's snow, including to and from White Pass and Snoqualmie Pass at least a dozen times (with no chains).

Good luck in your search.

 

would 265 60 18 tires fit on a 2002 DII ? with a terrafirma lift?

 

I run 265/60/18 Michelin LTX AT2's on stock suspension. No rubbing at all and no mods needed.

 

Nice, thanks for the update gchillog
