Check out brands like Husla, Simmons etc.
The Australian D5 owners FB group has plenty of owners changing to aftermarket wheels - and they look great.
Yep agree, do you know if any companies that have steel rims in 20” or alternatively, any other rims that are D5 compatible
Thanks again mate

The new Pirelli All Terrain Plus is to be produced in P255/60R19XL 113V but no details on availability yet. Its not an extreme off-road tyre but too new for feedback on how suitable it might be for outback travel.

That’s not correct in Australia.
For an offroad vehicle.
All you’ll need to have 4 tyres the same rolling diameter, a load rating that meets the minimum of the placard and a speed rating of N (140km/h).

Scorpion All Terrain Plus 255/60R19XL
I spoke to Pirelli Aust yesterday and they do not plan to release this tyre in Australia in the foreseeable future. It's a shame because these tyres (along with the Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure 255/60R19)would solve our problem accessing tyres to fit our 19" rims having a very similar rolling circumference to our current OEM tyres which are 'suitable for use on sealed roads and relatively smooth unsealed surfaces' (JLR Aust)
We have a Td6 SE All New Discovery and are seriously considering what action we should take as we consider that we have been sold a vehicle which is not fit for purpose. 19" rims and no tyres to take us off road.

Pirelli Australia gave the same response to my inquiry about 275/55R20 a week before the size was listed on the Pirelli AU web-site although the US site listing the size still has no stock.
Apart from the expense of buying another set of rims, I suggest that you fit 20" and 275/55R20 for which quite a selection of tyres is available. It is only 1" larger OD than standard and fitted by many D5 owners.

I think the action you should take is to take the car off road with your existing tyres. As you have a new car I doubt you’d want to take it somewhere and risk damage to the bodywork, you would be surprised where the car will take you with the tyres that are on it now.
I have no intention of changing my tyres until they are worn but will happily take it anywhere where I took my old D4 with AT tyres.

Hi geckoPK
I agree totally with your comments and have spent a long time on the phone and exchanging emails with the Land Rover CRC about the non-suitability of the Goodyear Eagle AT tyres for Australian conditions. They might be an AT tyre fit for the UK but they certainly aren’t an AT tyre for Australia. In 25000km including about 4000km of gravel roads I have blown the wall on two and split the centre of the tread on another two. It cost me around $1100 to get two new tyres and have them trucked from Melbourne to Tyrepower in Alice Springs. The Beaurepaire dealer there was a total waste of space.
The remaining tyres that have done 25000km are virtually stuffed with lots of chips and about 2mm of tread left.
My Beaurepaire dealer here asked me why I didn’t get decent AT tyres on the car when I bought it!
Land Rover CRC were dismissive and told me that the alternative was “255/55R20 110Q Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac, a tyre that performs well both on and off road”. I thought that is what the OE tyres were supposed to do!! When I reminded them I have 19” rims and would have to spend about $7500 to buy 6 new Land Rover rims if I wanted to keep it original -plus 6 new tyres as well they didn’t even bother replying.
i think it is unbelievable that they market the New Discovery as one of the world’s best 4wds yet do not fit tyres to it to fulfil its purpose. Further, there are no suitable tyres of the correct size available in Australia. I am considering an approach to Fair Trading, although I doubt it will do much good.
