jules Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I'm getting a new set of AT's for my D2 it has 255/65/16 on it but there small I have been offered a set of 265/70/16 but I did have a set of 265/75/16 BFG AT's on it and they were way too big as it screwed the gearing on the Auto box. does anyone run 265 / 70 / r16's on a disco 2 and is it ok or a pain in the ars I will be fitting AT2's Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q-rover Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 265/75x16 are about 3% larger than the 70. A friend of mine has them on his P38 and they look good. No rubbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top90 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 When I got tyres for my D2 I looked up sizes on Disco2.net (or something like that........) They had a chart of each size tyre which suggested the 265/70/16's which I went for and they looked/performed well with no rubbing. It mentioned the 75's could rub, but in reference to the post above I don't know if P38s can take bigger tyres or not. Mine was an auto and was fine as the 70s don't raise the gearing so much. In fact it used to read 4% under and they pretty much corrected it. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 Some very rough calcs show the diamiter of 255/65/16 = 730mm 265/70/16 = 771mm 265/75/16 = 797mm the 265's on a disco rub a bit but not much.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
