I really don't want to buy new wheels... Does anyone make an 18" offroad tire for the 18" wheel on a Disco II? | ||||||

Brian, Nice job on the link. My buddy and I were having this same conversation recently after seeing a new Hummer H2 with "Chrome" wheels and 20 inch AT Tires (Go Figure?). Somebody has got to have some 18" AT Tires for LR. | ||||

Jaime-285/65/18. Is that for a D2 with a lift? or maybe some cutting of the fender liner? | ||||||

The above posted link talks about 18in. Toyo tires. I have these on my D2 now. Factory size 255/55/18. While the tread pattern is aggressive, I wouldn't consider them off road A/T tires. They wear nicely though. For the occassional off-road romp, they are good. But I think if you want to do some real off-road driving, IMO-you're better off buying a set of 16's and putting real A/T tires on them. There are also other advantages to using a 16in. wheel off-road as opposed to 18. | ||||||

you're right john there is a world of aggressive offroad tires out there for 16" wheels so if that was the main focus, offroading, then it would be bust to buy some 16" wheels | ||||||

If you want off-road tires bad enough, you can find them. I've seen plenty of trucks with 18" rims and 35" tires, etc. It just depends on how extreme you want to go. I love my 16's and 33" BFG MT/KM's, but I imagine I would like them just as well if they were 18's. | ||||||

Rover4us, Not sure what mods would be necessary for that size to fit on a DII. However, the tire is available in a 18" size so it is at least an option. Jaime | ||||||

Rich, Nitto tires make some for 18 inch rims. They are called Nitto Terra Grappler. The web site is: www.nittotire.com 285/60R18's are little bit wider than 265/75R16's, but about the same height. Hope this helps. Damien | ||||||

Damien- do you know how a 285/60/18 Terra Grapler would fit on stock D2 suspension? I know some brands differ in fitment when you start comparing. |
