The load factor may be a problem for your insurer and the LR warranty. A simple litmus test is to ask the fitters to guarentee the tyres given that the load rating is 3 points below and accept liability .......will they?....I think not  21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

I would wait for the right size to come out,
After seeing what can happen with the 255/55/18 when going mildly off rd (blowing the sidewall on 2 tyres) I would stick to the right load rating or better.
