Tire Thoughts

[Jen in AZ]

Hi There!
Need new tires on my 03' Disco. It's been suggested that Yokohama YK520 255/55/18109H is the way to go. They are pretty pricey. Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on these before I make the purchase.
Thanks !

Yokahama is a good tire, I am a Bridgestone man, and prefer the A/T Revo's

For 18" wheels, I like the Bridgstone also for traction and good mileage.

I went through a set of Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revos on my 2003 Discovery and was very pleased. I went up a size for better trail performance, but they served me well and I got at least 50,000 miles out of them. Nitto Terra Grappler and Cooper Zeon LTZ have also been well received in the Southern California Land Rover community. TireRack has a pretty good comparison of A/T tires,

Which size Revos did you put on the 18" rims? I can't stand the wrangler HPs that are on their now. I'm still using ACE and air springs in back on my 2002.

Dueler A/T Revos

245/75/16 I still have the 18s in the garage, also disappointed in the Wrangler HPs. The original 255/55/18s are 29" diameter with a 5.5" sidewall. If you go to up to 30.5" diameter tire, you can get away with no lift. I now have 265/75/16s, which is a 31.6" diameter and requires at least 1 1/2" lift. They don't need to be H rated tires like the original equipment, as we rarely driver our Rovers 100mph but the S rated are good. The H rated tire is good for 130mph.
