    Mate give them a go - you might be surprised, especially for touring.

    I have 235/70 's on my disco which are nearly new and fitted just before i bought it 18 months ago ( cooper ht's), i would fit 245/70's if i had the choice as they correct the over reading of the speedo and odo - about 6% out.
