I know there's a sticky on Disco tyres, but it only applied to Mk 1 Discos. I am looking at a set of nutter mud/snow tyres for the winter for my stock unmodified 2003 Disco 2. I want to know what tyres will fit on my Disco for certain.
Now I've got 255/55R18s on a the moment, so by my reckoning the wheel size is as follows:
Wheel = 18 x 25.4 = 457mm
Tyre height (top+bottom) = 2 x 255 x 0.55 = 281mm
Total wheel dimensions = 457 + 281 = 738mm diameter, 255mm wide.
So it's logical to say if I get any tyre inside 740mm of this width, I should be absolutely fine??
E.g. Insaturbo 235/70 R16 = 736mm x 255mm.
Does that make sense, and does anyone know how much bigger/wider you could go without any rubbing or bumping???
Cheers
