    D3 18" off road tyres?

    Hi all. had my disco 3 for almost 2 years now and looking to change my 18" factory rubber (goodyear wranger HPs) for something that can bite in the mud - HOWEVER - I'm told by my local tyre place that the only replacement is a goodyear wranger HP!!!!!!. surely Coopers or someone is doing a replacement? Im hoping I dont have to run two sets of rims! Has anyone got a spare set of 17" D3 rims?

    Someone rang . Yes mate, as Chris has said there is...and I have 18 inch General Grabber AT2's in a 255/55/18, plus you can get in a 255/60/18. BF Goodrich have bought out a BFG265/65/18 AT and I am waiting to find out if the new MT will fit. Another D3 owner has Mickey Thompson ATZ 275/65-18, with a slight rub. Here are some pics of mine:

    Thanks all. Ive called a few tyre places and everyone is telling me that no-one carries, or is able to bring in Generals. In fact one place told me they were banned from being imported!? I told them they were wrong as Ive seen 4wd's with them on ... but in the end I got no-where. Anyway Stevo - where did you get your AT2's from?
    cheers Lance

    Hey Lance,

    I got them through my local tyre bloke, who I think from memory got them from WA as the local Brisbane agent was out of them. Here go to this site they will be able to point you to there distributors....Dynamic 4x4, Simex 4x4, Sime 4x4, General tire, Dynamic Wheels, Sime, Grabber, Extreme Trekker, Wheels,

    let me know how you go,

    Regards

    Stevo

    problem solved! Thanks Stevo. One last question then I'll stop bugging you. I presume these things work well - sound OK on the road, work well in the muck / snow, live a little longer than the wrangers? Cheers Lance

    Mate, they are still a little low profile for my liking with the 255/55, but then again depends on what you are doing. In terms of comparing against wranglers, a huge improvement off road, better grip and confidence. Can't hear on the road, mind you hard to hear anything once the windows are up, fuel economy on par, a decent all rounder in my books,

    Regards

    Hi Stevo,

    Just changing the subject a bit. I noticed in your photos you had a UHF radio. Can you tell me where you have the arial.

    Regards

    Steveo,
    Are u running 18's as yours is an HSE, so originally u would of had 19"s.
    You keep saying u are running 255/55's. (255/55/19-Originally)
    Just want to double check as General make the tyres for both the Sport & D3 in 18".
    Sport is 255/55/18
    D3 is 255/60/18 which is slightly higher......i did say slightly..
    If u are running 255/55's (18)then they are the wrong size! for the D3...
