bobtailed disco:
I have got a 1994 v8 disco with a 2inch lift, anyone no the best tyre size to put on it?? (well what will fit with no chopping). Also anyone know what kind of milage you get out of the bf goodrich ATs and the bf goodrich MTs, I can't decide which ones to go for, Cheers rob

Lots.

I've had my 235/85s on my RRC 2003-2007, switched them to my Disco 2007-2008 and plan to move them to my Series 1 soon. They've done 25k at least with no signs of wear. I will put BFG ATs on the Disco to replace them. Only reason for swap is changing from 16" Modulars to 17" Alloys.

clover:
I beg to differ...

235/85 R 16 will require at least a camel chop on the rear arches.

I would go for a full chop to be on the safe side if you do anything more arduous than normal road use with 235/85. Also if you are using defender type modulars you should do a complete chop as I am led to believe that the wheel offset is different for Defender wheels and leads to rubbing (read cutting) of your tyres on the arch's with 235/85's on a Disco or Rangie

BFG muds should give you good mileage. Not as much as AT's  - just depends how much work you do in the brown stuff...

auf_wiedersehen_pet:
Sorry all for the confusion - forgot to say that my Disco has 4" lift. Very tiny rub when flexing.

clbarclay:
I would recomend fitting a minimum 32" high tyres (eg 235/85R16 or 265/75R16 etc) if possible for off roading. These are standard size on most 90s, resulting in a lot of the ruts ending up accordingly deep.

A simple camel cut at the back of the rear aches can be very subtle and still allow enough room for a 235/85.


MT or AT?
That depends what your planning on doing. For greenlaning and pay and plays then AT is perfectly adiquate. Having said that you can end up wanting more, I started on ATs (reatread copy of BFGs), then got some BFG MTs, then I wanted more clearance under the diffs and more 'bite' so moved to SATs (which are a pig on the raod). I now have super swampers, not that I 'need' them, just natural progression.
