What All Terrain (A/T) Tyres on the Disco 3???

After virtually destroying the (very soft) standard set of tyres on the Disco 3 V8 SE (Goodyear Wrangler HP R18 / 255 / 60) I began looking for appropriate A/T tyres to fit. Alas, there is nothing avbailable in the specification of R18 / 255/60. It seems we have tyre specification on this vehcile that none of the recognised brands out there makes tyres for? Or have I missed something? Any advice out there? What have other people done? I have read about fitting R17 rims etc, but surely....how can there be no A/T tyres to fit this specification?

Grabber AT2's in 255/60 R18 will be out soon other than that there's very little choice.
Cooper seem to be bringing out a lot of new stuff so it's worth keeping an eye on what they produce, their STs and STTs in 245/70 R17 are a good option for the 17" rims Club Small Signature; Ignore the length, enjoy the girth

In the USA, many people are using the Nitto Terra Grappler A/T's in the 285/60/18 size. THey are a bit on the agressive side compared to the Wranglers, but a fantastic tire on and off road. I have not driven mine long enough to opine about wear though (10,000 miles thus far)

Anyone have any news on BFG AT's in 18inch size?

I like the BFG muds on my D1, and I'm thinking of replacing the Wranglers (what idiot decided to put a Wrangler on a LR???

) with something Michelin/BF Goodrich.
