Anyone recommend a good aggressive all terrain tire? Choices in the 255/60/18 are very limited . Ive read all the posts and still having a hard time deciding. I've ran bfg all terains and mud terrains on a hunting truck of mine for years with no complaints. However i cannot get this tire for my lr3 unless going up a size tire. If i decided to do this would I have rubbing issues?
Any advice would be appreciated.

 

IF you are having issues finding 18' tyres , there's another alternative ( but costly ) you can get a totally different size of rim say 16's,( after market ) maybe with a taller profile tyre in off road ,
but keeping the same circumference of the 18' keeping the ratio , so when you are not going off road , you can run your 18's ,,,, to save the life of your off road tyres. ( we have this same problem here in the Caribbean )

 

I would say a great bet is the Nitto Terra Grappler or the new Nitto Grappler G2-- looks very nice. I've been using the Terra Grapplers, very happy with them. The G2's look awesome. If you want to stay with 255...

Also the TG have sizes for you. Very rugged. If you want a taller profile, you'll need toddco spacers and / or lift rods, etc. Overkill IMO.

You can see the Nitto Terra Grappler 285/60/18 here, under Rover Specialties.

You can also get 17" rims from Justin at Lucky8 if you want to go that route.

 

I faced a similar problem and fitted two General Tire AT2 Grabbers 255x60x18. I am going on an extended trip into the desert so hope they perform OK. The decision to replace only 2 tires was based on the fact the other 3 were in good condition. If you need to change all 5 tires then go up a size to 265x60x18 since there are more supplier options.

I am doing my suspension now, I have 18" and 19" rims I want e rated tires and can't find any in Rover sizes

If I can't get e I at least want something heavy duty, after all it is a 7100# truck

 

16's are not a option with the LR3 unless you remove your brakes

Tom, I just ordered 255/55R19 in a MT. More info on them in my DII build thread.

 

I realy only want all season tires, a/t if I have to

 

That's no fun....

 

Nope, its her work get to work truck, is the XL rating like e?

 

I believe so. You might check Goodyear they had a Adventure Kevlar AT in 255/60R19 it didn't look very aggressive though. They also had the Duratrac in a 255/55R19.
