Best tyres for discovery 2a

Hello all. I've recently made the move from my beloved LR 90 to a disco 2a. COMFORT. .
it's got a 2 inch lift but still has standard bumpers.im looking to fit bigger tyres for off roading with the kids. I've see a good price on maxxis bighorn 265/70r16 and was wondering if anyone has uses this size tyre and if they will rub etc. I dont really want to cut bumper etc..
Or could I go 265/75r16????
Would be grateful for any advice.

I've got 265/75R16 BFG KO2 tires with a 2" lift and no problems

Even on fully flex and steering lock? Your sig image looks like you have an after market front bumper.

I run 255/70R16 on my p38 which are fine. I almost went for the 265/70r16, but the gain is quite small (1/2") and they cost more when I was looking.

A 245/75R16 is similar height and more narrow, which might be beneficial on some UK terrain, plus reduce the risk of rubbing.

A 265/75R16 is pretty big, about as tall as a 235/85R16 but wider. Both are standard sizes on a Defender. On stock D2 rims I'd suspect you'd lose some steering lock and rub the radius arms on full lock with these.

Try this to work out actual tyre sizes, you put the stuff in , it spits the rest out.

It's when you have a Discovery 2, but sell off the space in the boot and someone builds a smaller 4x4 there. That new 4x4 is a Discovery 2A

Or, NAS spec?

I suspect they are referring to the facelift D2.
