    Land Rover rims are about the worst thing on the planet to mount a tyre on, particularly discovery 2 alloy 16" ones, I'm not kidding.

    The worst we ever had was a toyo open country, brand new...from memory it was on a 30 metre hose outside the shed, and I think we got to 85 psi before it would seat, that's not fun.

    Ha ha..i had exactly the same issue with Toyos😞

    Our local shop owner lit up a ciggie when I rolled in with the D2a on std rims.. **** he said. I'm gonna have to charge you more..those rims are a ****!

    ...and they were..one a spare with a new Michellin..never used in over 10 years had to be cut off😁

    I realise they're harder than most due to the bead design but did he know there's a spot on the rim designed just for breaking the bead?
    Maybe I should take a couple of alloys in for a demo to see if a potential new machine can cope with them.

    Not sure..next visit was to replace Toyos with MTs..bought from him..so he didn't complain too much cept to comnent that the Toyos put up a fight.

    I think a test drive would be advisable 😎
