Tyre sizes for a Disco II

[goofyr]

Hi all,

I'm in the process at looking at changing my tyres and want to find out the largest tyre I can fit to a standard Disco II without overly affecting my gearing.

I'm looking at changing the current 235/70R16 to A/T LT245/70R16 but I'm having problems finding my preferred size from Procomp, Cooper or Mickey Thompson, only BFG seems to have this size in LT construction.

Thanks

255/70/16 won't change things much either, i have 245/75/16s on my DII and you do notice the difference, aspecially up long steep hills, a chip fixed that though.

The differences are this in size;

Standard size is 29.00 in

Overall Diameter: 29.50 in 749.3 mm.......245/70/16

Overall Diameter: 30.05 in 763.27 mm.....255/70/16

Overall Diameter: 30.46 in 773.68 mm.....245/75/16

i noticed gearing drop in my V8 with 265/70/16s. 7% speedo error too and boy did they fill the guards. No rubbing though.

I've since put 2" lift on. Now thay look too small.

245/75/16's & 2" lift works well https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Unfortunately I can't do a lift cos I need to fit under surburban car parks https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
Thanks for the info.

My roof bars are still only 2m. Fits under 90% of them.
