For Sale - 5 Used Cooper ST Maxx - 305/70/r18 Tires
Evenly worn, rotated often, no cupping, no damage, no punctures. Lots of tread remaining.
Mounted on Discovery 2 rims, Internally balanced. Decent condition for the age.
Will consider the same rims on trade.
Tires with rims - $1200.00
Tires only - $1000.00
Will these fit on a stock 2004 Disco. No lift kit.
That's a 35" tire, so no, it wouldn't fit on a stock D2. Wouldn't fit on one with a 2" lift either. I'm running a 3" Rovertym lift on mine, and the best I can do and still get the tire to stuff completely without rubbing is a 33".
You need a 4" Rovertym lift minimum (which is essentially a 5" lift, as they always sit 1" longer than the rating) to get 35" tires to fit, and that's still tight.
I wouldn't run something that big on stock D2 axles anyway, you'll turn them to dust in no time if you do any serious wheeling. I've seen/filmed it first hand....

Don't forget new propshafts to cope with the angles.

Yessir, good point.
Going that big a tires there's a whole lot of stuff that needs changing. Diff gearing would as well as the stock ratios would be too high for those tires. With my 33" I run 4.11 gears, and if I went to 35" I'd probably switch to around 4.85
For reference: These are the tires for sale. D2 has a 1" body / 4" suspension lift plus arch trimming.
Those look like the same flares I'm running :). That all makes sense now.
