All genuine, all current, just less middle men!


Your tyres could fall into that category.

I too would appreciate the contact info, I'm just about ready to purchase & I'm keen on the ATR.

Cheers,

I will soon also be looking for 19" ATRs. I have 2-3 months of tread left.

Kev's tyre place does good prices. Marbe buying together will be even better.

It's worth a try, I too have a few months of tread left, maybe up to 4 or so which includes time to 'save' for the new boots!

I'll also be getting 4 tyres.

Hi Wizard,

no, my fuel consumption has'nt changed at all, averaging 9.5l/100klms, and that includes a few weeks on the beach!

I just had to take the car back to Austral Land Rover and have them re-programme the computer settings on the transmission to compensate for the change from 19' to 20'.....this is crucial, otherwise the gearbox will shudder and of course the speedo is out. my next set of Tyres (Tires for the Yanks) will be the same, Nitto's again!!

Hi Guys, has anybody else out there in LR land have 285/50/20 Nitto Terra Grapplers fitted to their D4 or D3?
Thks

LRD414 & Diesel,


Sorry for the delay guys I don't get on the forum much these days, so only just noticed your request.


I've PM'd both of you the Tyre Guy details.

Never heard before of the gearbox needing to be reprogrammed because of a change of rim size.
Yes a larger diameter size tyre can change the speedo's accuracy but in general most people only go up one size in tyres and that actually makes the speedo more accurate than less.
