So I can't pick a damn tire size and I need advice. I was going to go 235/85 but want treadwrights and as most know they are out of stock now and Im not sure when they will come back so...

245/75?
265/75?
or?

I'll be running a 2" Terrafirma HD, I don't mind to trim the fenders some so thats not the problem but which size would you go with in my shoes, keep in mind as of now I daily drive the Disco If that matters?

The hd kit takes care of most situations. I have only experienced problems twice. Once at 80mph slamming the brakes it got a little squirly. Another time at 75 coming down a mountain pass I nodded off drifted into oncoming traffic made a hard turn to avoids a head on and ended up over correcting and had alittle fish tail. Not to scare u away. Just dont try driving your truck like me like s sports car... Or buy disconnects

Pizza Cutters

I love my Disco on 235/85's. TreadWright will get them back in stock within a few weeks. I bought my KM2's a day before they were available again. Sign up for the alert.

I like the tall-skinnies on the Landy. They just look right and... Trevor recommended them. I do not listen to forum dibble when Randy (with a dash of salt) and Trevor are within spitting distance of me. I trust both of them more than random assholes. Stay away from D-web. NELRC recommendations are valid for the most part.

It gets interesting sometimes. If you drive with the knowledge that you don't have them, it's not too bad. My truck is for play so I deal with it. If I drove it otherwise, I would get disconnects like Doc.
