Default Noob needs your advice.

Hello everyone

I am new to Land Rover Discovery II 2000 and this forum.

Tried to do the research, but still need your pro advice.

Live in Cali and this car is for my Mom but I will take it to snow/ice (must) and very easy offroad once in a while. Not planning to do major upgrades for more aggressive offroad (allthough I do enjoy your stories, pics, and videos).

So unless I upgrade components I should stick to 255/65/16 or 255/70/16?
And I am really lost with the brand/model options.

I have limmited funds, but won't sacrifice safefty of passengers nor car's components. Last time I owned a 4x4 it was a Grand Cherokee with 3" lift and 31" Bridgestone Dulers AT. Was happy with them untill flipped the car on the freeway 5.5 times (someone helped me, so probably not the tires fault).

Realy don't know where to start. Please help me make the right choice.

Thanks in advance.

Stopped my search on Bridgestone Duller ATP 255/70/16 with spare (barely clears the rear bumper. Ride was smooth so far.

Thanks everyone.
