Just ordered 255/85 for the SVX, told this is the way to go. not cheap at $395 each but what to do. Hope all is well or the other half will probably put out a contract on me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
here are the differences according to the tire calculator.

regards
The red numbers punched out with the calculator comes with a warning to contact your manufacturer as it may void your waranty... Like I said before, I contacted LRA on their technical e-mail service and the reply was clear. Fit 255's and you automatically void any waranty on the drive line.:mad:
Believe me, I would prefer to fit them to my Puma as well, but with a year and a half of waranty left I just can't justify the risk.
Thanks for the heads up re Land Rover's position but next month its warranty over, the time to play has come. Exhaust next then performance upgrade, no more EGR, and Ashcroft upgrade.Quote:

Not too sure how much the prices would have changed in a year though. Our $$ was a fair bit lower back then.
freight was $412 for 4 tyres, fitting is $10 each.Quote:

Best quote I could find here was $380 each, and was told I'd be waiting a while for supply.
I have to wait till the end of the month for mine. I just can't be botherered at the moment with importing, fraight ect. Far to much else going on in my life. I know its a big saving and your advice is very welcome but for me re tyres its all to hard. What I do look forward to is the change it will make to my vehicle. At times cost is not the main concern . Again thanks. Hay Ranga is Redcliffe still as good to fish as it was 30 years ago when I lived there.Quote:
