Hello people,
I'm trying to suss out what tyres I can shoehorn onto my Disco TD5. I'm
receiving some very conflicting opinions.
The standard tyres are 235/70 R16s. On the advice of Disco2.com, I was
looking at 245/75s or 265/70s, which the website states are fittable to
unmodified Discos without rubbing.
But two tyre places I've spoken to have said both these sizes will rub the
wheel arches, and the max size I can use is 255/70. The same people seemed
to think that even with a 1.6" lift, neither of the bigger tyres will fit
without rubbing.
Then I spoke to somebody in the US who had fitted *265/75s* to a Disco II
with a 1.6" lift and said there is no problem whatsoever with the fit, no
mods required. So I'm more confused than ever.
Can anybody here categorically tell me what tyre size they've been able to
fit onto a Disco II, without use of an angle grinder and without rubbing?
Thanks,
David.
