    I havent looked around too much but have seen Cooper STT's in 275/65 18" and 12.5 x 35 18" but that is obviously huge. Check the big companies websites they generally have tyre fitment options on their sites.

    There have been a lot of posts about this, with a lot of information.
    I posted a similar question some time ago and received lots of good advice and info.
    The best option I found - other than buying a set of 16" wheels or doing a 2" lift is a General Tires "Grabber AT".
    They have a 255/55 R18 (standard size) and available soon is a 255/60 R18
    Do a search for general tires to have a look at the profile and details.
    I spoke to Opposite Lock in Perth and they quoted $340 a loop for the 255/55. Phone number is 08 9345 4877. Not sure where they are available on the East Coast.

    Hope this helps

    I put a bit of time into this, as my D2 has SLS/ABS/Airbags etc., so a body and/or suspension lift is difficult if not impossible.

    As said above - the easiest way to go is to get a set of 16" steel or alloy rims for a D2 or PA38 and fit a 235/70 16 - that way your speedo is only fractionally out 1% +/- and the total OD is just about the same as the standard 255/55 18 tires at about 29.2 in.

    This way - no lifts, no changing suspension, no need to cut bodywork etc.,

    The standard 255/55 18's are pretty 'ordinary' off road - no they are completely naff.
