and higher center of gravity, worse on the road, mods to body work, worse turning circle etc etc
not as straight forward as all that.

You forgot 31/10.50/15,just fitted some muds on standard springs,30mm offset on rims.
Well I was going for 'or equivalent' as the question was on general size rather than exact millimeter dimensions.
Although those numbers are more a more sensible way of measuring the tyre, the other way makes more sense to me

I run 265's on mine not by choice more due to the fact that I had them so I might as well use em. Good for mud, ruts etc and fine for general road use but I do a fair bit of heavy towing and sometimes wish me gearing was a bit lower. Just means I don't use top gear a lot with a heavy trailer on.
LOL, your car, your choice ...
You've seen my 31 x 10.5 R15 BFG AT's in action .. I'd suggest for an all-round vehicle they're pretty damn brilliant. Good for on or off-road without being too specific for either. Slightly raised gearing which is great solo, but doesn't help towing a caravan much on-road, more clearance off-road.
Hopefully next year I'm upping the size to 33's or so .. as I intend to cut down the towing by getting a Mondeo, TD4 freelander or small jap 4x4, Kia Sportage, Mitsubishi Pinin whatever! so the Disco will really become much more an off-roader and toy rather than, as now, our main car.

Hmm I remember a comment on a recent weekend outing to the effect of "it's all about the driver, not the equipment" as someone's big tyres got stuck on a hill, and my little 205/80s drove straight up
You didn't need to drive up that grassy slope... I just let the car roll up it
