Disco Enthusiasts,

I would like to replace the POS Goodyear Wrangler 255/55/R18 tires with Michelin Cross Terrain 275/55/R18. Discount Tires will not make this change unless I find success stories as to this particular swap. DT says there will be rubbing in tight turns, but I'm not sure about this conclusion.

Has anyone successfully replaced 255/55/R18 with 275/55/R18 of any make or model tire?

I further understand that the Michelin tires will be wider and slightly taller than original equipment, but Michelin does not currently make a 255/55/R18 in the model I'm interested in purchasing.

All advice welcomed.

Thanks All,

Gerry

I just purchased some Kumho escta stx in 255/55 18
A friend of mine just purchased yokohama avs in 255/55 18 and they look awesome on the disco. The Kumho's aren't as agressive looking but they should be better year round tires.
