Brand wise Michelin and Yokohama are always a good bet, stay away from Goodyear. Price Discount Tire online and then go to the local store and have them pricematch, they hate to do it but they always will. (Great customer service business) Costco has some good prices but limited choice. Goodluck with your Disco. Jeff (in reply to queenpumpkin) Post #: 2

If you're staying on the road don't bother with an A/T it will be louder.  Go with a lower profile, you didn't say if you had 16" or 18" rims.  If I was staying on-road all the time I'd go 18" for sure it makes a noticable different in how things handle. (but then I'd also do a non-lift heavier spring and shock upgrade too) and in a smoother highway friendly tire.  Just stick to a major brand in the right load range and you should be good.  Things to consider are, will it see mud? if yes go A/T, will it see snow? if yet go A/T, will it be on highway all the time and in a warm climate? if yes look for something smoother and lower.

Based on the fact that you're also looking for a chrome bumper with the valence, I'd say stay with your stock tire size and get a highway tread. Just make sure it's an LT tire. _____________________________ Tom Rowe Four wheel drive allows you to get stuck in places even more inaccessible. 62 88 reg 67 NADA x2 74 Air Portable - The Antichrist (tag 6A666) 95 D1 95 D90 (in reply to queenpumpkin) Post #: 7
