Tyres for Disco 5

I found a guy on ebay AU selling four 20 inch wheels for $1,700. I think I’ll get them, so I can then fit proper AT tyres on the car

Legalities wise, people always seem to talk about going bigger, not smaller. I tried looking on the VICROADS website and gave up.

If its not illegal its fine. I dont think for a 4x4 its ever wise to reduce tyre circumference for obvious reasons.

Back from Adelaide. I spoke to several tyre reps and the Land Rover rep. All said 255/55R19 is illegal. You can go 50 mm bigger on a 4WD, but only 15 mm smaller.

I will go with Duratracs in 255/55R20 - original size so they can't blame me!

Ahhhhh..... Tyres do my head in. I have ordered Nitto Terra Grappler G2 in 275/55R20.

i had those on my old Jeep and they’re a bit noisy...

Were they the first Terrra Grapplers or the newer G2?

G2 - I had them on 265/50r20

Like I said, "Tyres do my head in."

Your suggestion?

I hear good things about Toyo Open Country AT2. I’ve never tried them though

Unfortunately, they are not available in a suitable size Only 265/50R20 which is 15 mm smaller diametre than the stock 255/55R20.

Oh, what fun!
