    Discovery 5 - 19 or 20 inch LR wheels

    Hi There,

    I am thinking of upgrading my D4 to a new Discovery 5 6SD, and I'm trying to work out whether there is a bigger "variety/choice" of All Terrain tyres available to choose from for the genuine 19 or 20 inch LR alloys. With my D4 I went to the expense of buying 18" Compomotives, but I would like to try to avoid the expense of a wheel change with the new D5.

    I am very conscious that which ever tyre choice or size I pick , I would like the tyre circumference to remain as close as possible to the original tyres fitted on the genuine 19 or 20 inch LR alloys.

    Is there a suitable tyres size in the new Pirelli ATTR Plus to fit the genuine 19 or 20 inch LR alloys ?

    Any feed back and info most appreciated

    D5 tyre diameter is 31" with various combinations of rim diameter, section width and profile.

    The new Pirelli AT+ is available in 275/55R20 which is very close to 32" so the spare would need to be the same size but at least 275/55R20 fits in the D5 spare wheel spot.

    Various other brands are also available in 275/55R20.

    Nothing really available in 19".

    20" wheels have 255/55 R20 tyres from factory. I changed my order which had 19" wheels as standard to 20", as at the time there were more tyre options for 20" wheels.

    Thanks Ron.

    Does any one know the standard tyre size for the 19"inch LR wheels ?

    This website is quite useful for comparing the different tyre size measurements :- Tire Size Comparison

    Standard 19” are 255 60 r19. Nothing available that size. For anything off-road you are forced to buy 255 55 r19.

    Hi Graeme,

    So the slightly larger 275's fit without any clearance issues?

    I can only go by what others with D5s, L494s and L405s report, which is yes. However clearance for snow chains is obviously reduced by the extra half an inch radius and extra tread width.

    I'm still keen on my AT+ in the size with their LI 113 rating - heavy enough duty without being LT, quiet except on coarse gravel bitumen and good handling in all conditions so far encountered.
