I've read through the tyre guide above and know which tyres fit, but just wondering what all you auto drivers are fitting to your disco's.
On a previous 300 manual I owned a few years ago I used the 235/85 without problems but was wondering if the gearing would be too bad for the auto box?
I should add that most of my offroading will be green lanes with an occasional pay & play

any help?
 
235 86 16 Malatesta Kaimans, but they need lots cutting off wheel wells and bumper ends.
 
oooh, sorry, mine's manual, not Auto .. ;)
 
Thanks for the replies so far :)
anybody run 245/70 or 75? or is it best to stay stock size
 
I run 265/70/16 BFG A/T's on mine. Needed to do a camel cut pre new suspension and adjust bump stops, but everything else ok (mines an auto too ;))
 
I now run 265/75/16 Cooper STTs on 8x16 rims with 35mm offset.
Road handling is absolutely spot on.

And yes, it's an auto. :)

thankyou, I feel a bit happier now that there are some good reports on bigger sizes with an auto
 
I should add that mine is de-cat'd, de-EGR'd, fuel pump modified slightly, full width alloy intercooler and alloy air manifold to intercooler pipe.

I've just had the transfer box reconditioned and changed from a 1:222 ratio to a 1:410.
I'll report in the next few weeks how much of a difference that has made. :)
 
Hi wobble what tyre size did u go for in the end im running a 300auto with 2" lift now looking for big tyres. Would like 265/75/16 but affraid of ruing the acceleration and gearing

How does yours go now
 
Mines running 205 80 60 Cooper Discoverer AT.

Personally I like narrower tyres as most of what I do has hard stuff underneath mud and that size cuts through it nicely
