thinking these maybe the best choice

which size rims you got 15 or 16 ??

think they're 16s on the boosts in the pic.

i have 16" alloy

thi not bad tyres i ad a set on mi 90,but dont yu want em a bit bigger than that?

insa saharas are good tyres, but you need at least 235s.
don't get colways - they have a habit of de-laminating.

just rang the guy in the shop he recommended dakar tyres as im driving 300 miles a week to and from work cant remember what size he said but said they would be £289 which isn't to bad he also recommended doing a lift on it to to get better tyre sizes which i will be doing at a later date he was quite helpful sell loads of other stuff in the ebay shop to

spend spend spend

dont get colways...speakin from experience

colways have gone bust now so any "new" colways are likly to have been sitting on the shelf for the best part of a year

if your doing the best part of 300 miles a week on tarmac you'll soon kill any tyre that is designed for mixed terain - think you'd be better off getting some road tyres fitted to your alloys and getting another set fitted to some cheap rims to use when you know you'll be getting it dirty

that sounds a gud plan from sean,then yu can get some proper mud tyres fa playin.

I have 235/85 16 wildcat MST on mine no lift as yet. had to do some cutting of rear arch to stop the rubing when off roading.Gives the disco abit more ground clearance

tis a shame ur so far away, got some insa dakars in 235 85 r16s with less then 100 on them.

courier for 4 tyres would only be about 25 quid.

235s are the biggest(widest)you can put on a disco1 without a lift or wheel spacers(they catch on the rear arches if you go bigger)and the dakars are prob the best as they are a copy of BF goodrich and a mate who has them on his disco1 swears by them...
But if you want to go bigger then your looking at a lift and all the associated problems.....in this case size really does matter!

When are you planning a lift Becky?

I have heard that this puts strain on the rest of the suspension and on a 14 year old vehicle I dont want to take the risk so I am just gonna put bigger tyres on for a little lift.

lift kit in next 2/3 weeks got some bf goodrich all terrains today £200 slightly worn BARGAIN!!!!

Wrong! I've had 265/75 BFG muds on my last three discos. The front bumper end caps need to be trimmed or removed and the rear arches need a trim. You don't need a suspension lift the taller tyres give extra ground clearance that is actually useful rather than lifting the chassis and bodywork a couple of inches but leaving the diff casings at the same height.

im wrong? for saying235s are the biggest without mods,then you go on to say all the mods you need to do to fit anything bigger.......doh! i give in
