all i know. is i got the 285/60/18 nittos. and those things work REALLY well. i went out to go mudding. and it just walked thru everything. they work well for A/T.. but i heard bad results with bfg in the mud. but they seem to be good in everything else. so i say nitto is a better all round tire. if anything Go steel wheels and mud terrains if u offroad quite a bit. if not might as well just keep the 18 in wheels.

I don't think the 285x65x18's will fit anyway unless you have a lift.

so new question i guess will 285/65/18 tires fit on a disco II
W/ ARB NO LIFT (basically stock)

umm NO dont do it. they will rub when you turn the wheel. u should consider just new springs and shocks ( aka a lift). and the arb bumper will hang down heavier than your stock
