Depends what you use it for.  IMHO the 235/70 is a good size for a Disco you only need go bigger if you are grounding it, for laning and stuff they should be fine.

I think 235/70 is the largest on a non-lifted vehicle,  I dont know what you get one on a 2" lifted vehicle, maybe someone else can fill that gap of the equation  :?:

You should be able to get 245/70 on with no trimming and 245/75 with some minor trimming to the lip of the rear wheel arch - both without a suspension lift.

Darren has some details under the technical section on http://www.landroverdiscovery.net and pictures of the trimming he did.
