Default Need help picking a tire

So I need some input on which tire looks the best. I can't decide , what do you guys think?

At that ride height, I think the Pitbull (front) looks like the best match.

That's how I feel as well, the smaller tires would look good at a lower ride height but I would need to buy smaller shocks.

I agree as it sits, but I would drop it a tad and run the Falken. I love the D90's close to stock all exp'd out! Looks good in any case, and you will be happier with the PBX performance wise

You can internally limit the shocks and drop the ride height a few mm. That said, drop the ride height and run the much more realistic looking RC4WD Falken tire.

Partly depends on what you expect from your Gelande 2.
I just had my first run with the PBX on my Gelande 2 whis weekend. I' ll probably never go back to another tire on this Defender

The smaller tires do look a bit better in my opinion, but on the trail the PBX look great and work very well.

Based on looks, definitely PBX.

I guess I'm the only one that thinks the pitbull looks too big. It looks like it's going to rub on that fender flare constantly Maybe if you move the front wheel forward so it's centered in the wheel well it will be OK, but as it is with the front wheel too far back, a tire that big doesn't look like it's going to work.

Thanks guys I'm going to keep running the pitbulls. I have had them on for awhile and don't have any problems with them rubbing but wanted to see how smaller tires looked.
