This is sort of like comparing Apples to Oranges. I can't say much about the Swampers but comparing a 7.50/16 XZL to a 255/85/16 is not a real comparison one is 10" wide and 33" tall and the other is 7.5" wide and 31.5" tall. Not that you could find them but a 9/16 would probably be a better comparison at 9" wide and 34" tall.

But with the amount of road driving you'll be doing I would probably go with the MT's especially if you consider the price difference. I had XLZ on my Series IIA and I absolutely loved them. But it's a lot smaller and light then a disco and I think 7.5" wide is just too narrow for a Disco. (appearance wise)

I put 235/85-16's on mine with a 2" RTE lift and I think that's a great look for the truck but looks are a personal preference. Will the 34" work better off road Probably but depending on your driving style you might also break more stuff. If you're considering the 7.50 why not consider the 235?
