I checked the search but couldn't find what I was looking for so here goes. What is the largest tire I can put on my 03 Disco without a lift? ( can't get one for a bit yet)I do get flexy now and again so rubbing at flex is an issue. BUT, I still have my sway bars connected so will that limit the my stuffing capability and allow me to put larger tires??? Thanks Ross Thoma | ||

Ross, I put on 255/70/16 Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs on my '03 Disco with no lift. I haven't noticed any rubbing at flex. Doing sharp turns at lock, there is no rubbing as well. I know there is another '03 owner on Discoweb who has 265/75/16, but I can't recall if he has completed a lift. I'll let him chime in here. -Eugene | ||

Ross, I installed 265/75-16's on our 03' Disco. I also Installed a 3" lift to have enough clearance. We have zero rubbing in any position. | ||

I have 245/75-16 on my D2 with no lift. No rubbing problems on flexy trails. | ||

I ran 265/75-16 on my 2001 for several weeks before I put on the lift. I had slight rubbing once when the front tires were really torqued in a turn on a steep hill. It did look strange though. I would prefer 270/75's on a stock truck. | ||

A D2 has more lift than a D1? Rear  I had some rubbing on my D1 before I put new springs and shocks on.(sagging) Still have standard lift but no rubbing. Rear  Front  Noel | ||

Thanks guy's after a bit more research I am thinking of BFG T/A KO 265 70R16 they are the same size as the 31X10.5R15 that are on my ranger and I have had no problems with those for clearence where I go, on paper they are.. 265 70R16 10.7" wide and 30.7" tall with a 7.30" sidewall vs 265 75R16 10.7" wide and 31.8" tall with a 7.82" sidewall I should still have enough sidewall to be good aird down, what do you think???

Yes you will have a strong enought sidewall. I run 255/70/16 BFG ATs on my D2 and I beat the shit out of them with never having a problem, aired up or down. (In my opinion the BFGs are the best tire for heavy duty use and most off-road conditions, but for specific off-road use such as mud, rocks, sand, others on this board prefer other tire makes.) | ||

Thanks Pete Last night I checked how my 31" tires would look on the disco and I think that the 265 70R16 will look and fit prety good. | ||

Ross...lift or no lift in the future? If you are going to put it up in the air at all, go with the 265/75's. If not, 255/70's or 265/70's are the way to go (as it seems you have already figured). -Luke | ||
