So I was a the tire shop today to have a tire patched since the repairs i had done at a p/o repair shop's parking area were full of old metal scraps and lots of other wonderful things to find in your tires, and i asked the guy behind the counter to suggest some tires for me since ill be in the market sooner rather than later, he suggested 255, 165, 16 or 255, 160, 16 BFG All terrain T/A K/O how would this work for my 2000 disco II SD7? 115,000 miles daily driver and weekend mud toy?

BFG All Terrains are some of the best tires out there. Especially for a daily driver, low road noise and great tread life. I'd go for it. I have friends who have these tires on there trucks and swear by them.

I'm running 265/75/16s on my DII with a 2" OME lift. I couldn't run that size without the lift, but the stock size can be upgraded. I run BFG ATs and so far have zero complaints at all. Great tire. Mud? Probably not so great. But unless you go out of your way to find mud (which you probably shouldn't do) they're great. I can air down on rocky trails and feel safe knowing the sidewalls are reinforced. Nice on the pavement too.

So you mentioned you like to play a little, how much, this can make a big difference on your tire selection.
Do you have or plan on a lift, also can make a difference?

I know that Toyo makes an AT (Open Country) in a 255x65R16. They're not ass agressive as the BFG, but have better road manners and tread life. They run about $140 a tire.
Also, General makes an AT tire that's more on the cheap side called the Grabber AT2. They run about $100 a tire. I don't know anyone that's had them, but they get decent reviews.
HTH.
