Apologies, I was just going to off load them for a pick up...

Hi have a simular problem Nice 18" alloys with low profile road tires ( came with it when I bought it). on a 2002 Discovery TD5 Was going to ask is there a tyre available for the 18" rim that will suit mild off road use?

Or do I just get a set of 16" with off road tyres for when I want to play??

Andrew,

I too have the 18" rims on my discovery.

There are only two tyres that I have found with an all-terrain tread, they are the General Tyre - Grabber AT2 and the Nitto - Terragrapler. These both come in 255/55/18 as on my disco, you can get the Grabber AT2 in Australia, however I am unsure of the Nitto tyres.

Both of these tryes meet the load and speed ratings required for a Discovery and the price for the Grabber AT2 in 255/55/18 is $340 each from Les Richmond Automotive plus freight to wherever you live. In my instance it is $239.80 for five tyres to Brisbane.

I have been trying to find a supplier in Qld, but have had no luck so far.

I have been tossing up the idea of getting 16" rims, however $340 per tyre for the Grabber AT2 is cheaper than a BF Goodrich MT or similar in a 255/70/16 which is closest match for the discovery.

I will probably still get a set of 16" x 8" rims, but put a set of 32" or 33" muds for when I go to Cruiser Park on weekends to run a muck.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Chris they look more like it, will definatly investigate, I was quoted a simular price for road tyres. They would have to be better than whats on the vehicle at the moment, great on the bitumin but almost no grip off road.

reviving a thread here but im cotemplating getting 16'' rims but reading this the 18s with the grabbers look good as i will only use it for the camping trip every few months.

i want to do more research on how much for a 245/75 on a 16 and could you go a 255/60 on the 18 to give it more beef in the sidewall

i have the perreli ATR on it now and they are nice on and off except the harder stuff but if i installed the CDL i reckon it would help more also
