    Mike, i put a set of 265/60R18 Cooper Ht plus and they have been superb. No rubbing, heaps quiet and they are much more comfortable around town. Speedo probably reads about 3% fast still.

    I have run 265 x 70 x 17 MTZ's - you will not have a problem.

    I will shortly be putting these on my Disco3 SE in 265/60R18

    Has anyone had this size on and the vehicle at acces height or in crawl mode? I would like to now if there was any issues in this mode with the bigger tyre?

    I have this size on my RRS which has less clearance than your D3 - no rubbing at any setting.

    Cheers,

    265's here as well Mike with no issues after changing from Coopers to Nexen for a tryout. Prolly go to 255's after these one though.

    Off road in all conditions the 265 have been good and also in the sandy stuff (Border Track) they went quite well dropped down.

    Cheers.

    Mickey Thompson and GOODYEAR MT/R KEVLAR are both availavle in 265 x 70 x 17

    Tyre place suggested the Mickey Thompson are very soft and prone to chipping from rocks and stones. Any thoughts on either of these two or other brands in for Muddies in 265 70 17? Quoted $480 for the Mickey T and $440 for the Goodyear.

    I was at my local Jax store today - they now have Mickey Thompson STZ in 265/60/18 for $399. Load rating 110 speed rating T.

    Has anyone put these on their vehicle. Any good? How do they compare with something like Cooper AT3 or even BFG AT (much more expensive but are a LT).
