Sorry if this has already been asked.

I want/need new tyres for my 99 Disco 2. Currently I have some Insa Turbo retreads with the BFG tread pattern on the standard 16" wheels. I don't feel too confident with retreads for a start and I swear it feels like I'm driving over cobbles sometimes. So I'm guessing they've gone out of shape. I've only had her 5 days and it's not a nice feeling. Funds aren't allowing me to do everything at once, but I have to change the tyres asap.

I want to keep the standard 16" alloys (for now) and I can't lift the body just yet. So.... what are the biggest tyres I can fit without too much/no body modifying?

Any advice appreciated

245 x75x16 as long as your suspension is in good condition is the biggest without a spring or body lift

Has anyone on here got a stock set up with the 245/75/16 tyres on? Would like to see a photo if that's possible.

Thanks

Thinking of putting these on the Disco.

Any thoughts/recommendations or anyone got these fitted?

I've seen some reviews, but they all seem to be from Yute driving Aussies. They have given them decent praise. Who knows.......

The plan is to do some greenlaning at the weekends and the odd on tarmac errand. No regular motorway jaunts.

Have a look on oponeo as they are a few quid cheaper than ebay or you could pay an extra few quid and get some toyo open country which someone on here uses and quite like. I've got a tratter with BFG's on so I can't recommend any sizes

You might consider a set of Event ML698 A/T (same pattern as the BFG A/T) in the 235/70 x 16 size.
Excellent value and good to drive with. A full set should cost around £250.
