Not quite mate:

255/55-19....94.4 inch circumference or 30 inch diameter
265/70-18....102.4 inch circumference or 32.40 inch diameter

No way they would fit my D4 without severe fowling on steering. My tyres are 31.6 or thereabouts and rub slightly on steering, and on full articulation.

Brett...

Look at the GOE web site for a pretty comprehensive list of available tyres for 18 inch wheels.

You took the words out of my mouth, Brett. I wonder how they fit a D3 and not a D4?

In 265/60-18 the Archilles Desert Hawk x-mt....nice and aggressive.

Or these Wranglers.

Can't find a great deal of anything in 265/70-18...they seem to be an unusual size.

Maybe coils with permanent lift and steering mods ?

I just think we were trying to clarify your tyre size and you did confirm what we thought.

Don't want to come up with a solution for a completely different tyre size.

I did look at the Goodyear Duratrac's, but is the 110 load rating a concern as it's right on the Discovery 3 minimum? Great looking tyre though!

The Achilles Desert Hawk X-MT's are getting good reviews both here and elsewhere online for a mud tyre option. Haven't seen any negative comments yet.

Don't you hate it when web sites lie!...

Try putting the same tyre sizes in here: Tire Size Comparison ... That's where my numbers came from:mad:

Apparently I calculated the circumference of tires that are 18/265 R70 rather that 265/70 R18 :oops2:

Obviously I need an idiot proof tyre calculator :angel:

I can't comment on the load, but I had the Duratracs on a D2a they were brilliant.
