Thread: Tyre Size for D3

Hi Hedley,

Do some searching and you will pick up multiple threads on this issue. It has been done to death, and I think everyone is sick of rehashing the same arguments

Hedley,

As Admiral said there is lots of discussion about 18 inch wheels and tyres on the forum, have search I am sure you will be absorbed for hours.

But it would appear the most favored 18 inch AT tyres option in OEM sizes are;

Pirrelli Scorpion ATR
Continental Cross Contact A/T
General Grabber A/T
Yokohama A/T

or at least these are the ones I recall.

For those prepared to go away from OEM the options get quite technical depending on increases in rolling diameter, offset, legislation depending on where you are and preparedness to possible affect insurance claims.

This does however brings in kit form Copper, BFG, Maxxis etc.

Enjoy your search and if that is not enough there is more on the dico3.uk site but they spend a lot of time talking winter tyres which are not as relevant to OZ.

Regards,

George

I have a calibration option in my factory GPS but not sure exactly what it is calibrating. When I looked at it, it appeared as though it would adjust speedo and odometer for different sized tyres.

If you modify the vehicle outside of permissable limits by your local roads authority then you risk voiding all insurances and having problems with the coppers. I think the limit in vic is a 50mm track increase and 15mm on diameter.

In respect of your factory warranty, there are stories on here of owners being advised by their LR dealership they wont have cover for any part of the vehicle modified or changed to a non LR part or any damage caused to the vehicle by that modification or part. It seems in this area LR is rather tight, but otherwise is very quick to honor their warranty obligations on standard vehicles.

There is a big discussion in this section re specific tyres and tyre sizes. Read on

Thanks Chaps,
Sorry to have brought it up again, but as a newbie to the D3 i'm frustrated at the lack of choices when coming off all my other vehicles the choice was endless. I've had Cooper A/T's the last 2 vehicles previous and BFG M/T's on 3 vehicles before those. looks like a compromise as always. Thanks for the links to the threads Trobbo. Cheers guys.
