Allright yall im going to be buying new tires and i am looking for your input. i have a Disco I with a 2.5" lift and was thinking of putting on some 235/85/16's. I was looking at the BFG Commercial T/A Tractions, does anybody have any experience with these or should I go with these or should i just go with bridgestone dueler revos.

What are you going to use the truck for?

Off road - how much and what terrain type or mostly on road - if on road how spirited do you drive?

For just a generally tyre I guess both would work fine, for me they fall into the vague middle category of not really being aimed at anyone discipline.

they will mostly see the road with a few offroad trips a year and alot of sand in the summer

Stay away from the commerical tires, they are normally load rated and not suited for a dailey driver. Also are you aware you will loose close to 2 MPG with the 235 tire? I would suggest you go to a 245/75/16.

I don't agree with this one. I did loose some MPH if I count the odometer at face value. But you also have to consider that using 235's result in a 9% increase over stock so if you have 200 miles on the clock that is actually 218 miles. Once you factor that in it's about a wash on MPG.

I went to my local tire store and asked about the commercial tractions and the guy said that i would be stupid to get them althought he has put them on other suvs, he ended up giving me BFG All terrains at whole sale price which is $10 more than the commercial. i got the 235/85 and they look great on my disco
