Thanks. In the end, I booked it in with the local dealer to have 5 Generals put on with it's 24k service. $455 fitted, but using the dealer means I'll get their Leaseplan discount applied and they can sort the alingment out as well (Which was quoted at $128, so that seems to have gone up too!).

Hi All

I had one of my managers have a quick look at this today and the most important thing about tyres is the load rating (speed rating is not really a concern here as we no longer have unlimited road speeds, that I know of maybe NT still does? but...), on the bottom right corner of the drivers door is the rating plate, the min load rating that the SE (I assume it will be the same across the S and HSE, in the tyre books it is) is legally allowed to use is 109T which means the tyre options are

OE Size 255/60R18 112H
Options 265/60R18 109T

(Discovery 3 SE TDV6, 4.0 V6, 4.4 V8)

Which means all of the major brands should have a tyre to match either one of these sizes. Cooper, Dunlop, Conti, Pirelli, Goodyear etc (note the Goodyear you can also get in an ATR Silent Armour)

Cheers

Paul
