Tire size

[EricG]

I'm currently running 265/75's and I'm looking to go up a tire size. I like the width and I think the 265/75 is about a 31 or a 31.5. So what would be the next as far as the same width with a little more height?

Driving an 03 Disco with about a 2 inch lift.

Thanks
Eric

Any thoughts on the Falkin wild peak at.

Eric,

I like to use the Discount Tire, Tire Calculator to compare sizes and widths.

Here is the link to the Tire Calculator.

What size are you running on your defender?

I'm running 285/75/16 on the Defender. When you saw the truck in the Jemez it was probably on 255/85s (both about 33 inches).

On the Range Rover Classic I'm running 245/75/16 (about 30.5 inches) with a two inch lift.

check this thread for 285/75-16: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/94564-My-restoration-to-a-Disco-Trek-Discovery/page5

Also, check my sold page for 255/85-16 which I prefer...

I went with a 285/75 in an A/T..... So much quieter than the M/T's I forgot what silence was. I think it rides better too. Got just a little rub on the passenger side bumper.
