MY13 20 inch tyre replacement

[Mr smokey]

G'day all, I have the above with 20in wheels. After suggested replacements for the Scorpions. after 42k they are getting well down. No off road stuff other than paddocks. Towing a 2.7 ton caravan basically only black top. Plenty of posts about smaller rims but not on the 20's.

Hi Trevor

A mate of mine just put 275/55/20 Cooper AT3's (???) on his Jeep. He said he is happy with them so far.

Cheers

Scott.

Nitro terra grappler 265 50 20, or get the Scorpions again as they are a good thing.

We have just crossed the Plenty Highway in a RRV on 20's - Cooper 285/50/20. Towing a 3.5t 21foot Bushtracker. Tyres have been fantastic with no overheating and good wear so far. Recommended!

Muskie, looks like we won't be needing any spares mate!!!:D:

[Mr smokey]

Any comments out there on the Hankook H426 255/50/20 's?

That's reasonably more sidewall than the standard 275/40 R20 on the RRS... Must make a difference... I haven't seen any oversize recommendations for the RRS 20 either

I had Coopers on a previous vehicle and while they wore very well, the rubber seemed very hard and with plenty of tread left got a bit slippery slidy at times.

It isn't a RRS it's a RRV (Range Rover Vogue).

They have a bit more room for larger tyres than the RRS or D4.

I am happy with Cooper Zeon LTZ in 275/45 R20 on our 2013 RRS.

[Stuart02]

Yeah my point

Anyone experienced Cooper H/T Plus 275 x 45 x 20 tyres on a Discovery 4? My D4 has original size tyres that are 255 x 50 x 20 so overall diameter should be OK. Looking for a quite tyre that has good durability to tow a 3 ton caravan without sacrificing wet/dry handling too much.

Have been running these Nankang SP-7 | Nankang (http://www.nankangusa.com/tires/rltsuv/nankang-sp-7) in 295/45/20's for about 5,000 Klm's now. Very happy with them in the dry & wet and are quite grippy on boggy building sites.
They do hum slightly on the road though.


These are my second choice http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp'tireMake=Continental&tireModel=CrossContact+LX20+with+EcoPlus+Technolog y
Mind you, they are purely road based.

Craig, seems the nankang's are around $100 more expensive than the Scorpions by Googleisation. There also doesn't appear to be an Aus supplier?

Hi Trevor, I purchased the tyres through Tyrepower @ $229.00 per corner.
The tyres actually get really good reviews.
