Ukraine 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 Commercial XS Auto Corris GreyDiscovery 4
275/55/20 tyres

Just been offered a set of lightly used ones from a D5 in the above size... (275/55/20)

Has anyone tried these on a D3? they come out at 31.9" which seems enormous compared to the 275/45/20 that I ran on my D4 (29.9")...

Cheers

Like yourself, I got offered a set that had been removed from a D5 for a price I couldn't refuse..

I previously ran 275/45s with 30mm spacers, but when I fitted the 55's they rubbed badly with the spacers fitted, so I tried without and now they clear (just Whistle )

I've not managed to get them to rub at all in everyday use, but not tried any serious off road yet.

I think it's also possible that different tyre brands may also differ slightly (Mine are BFG's)

Thanks, these ones are GG AT3s… exactly what I’m was looking for in the smaller size.. I’ll give them a go and see what happens

That's an inch more sidewall and 0.8" more width than the oe 255-50-20 tyre size:

I'm surprised they don't make contact somewhere on full lock.

Watch your speed as well, especially over 60mph Thumbs Up
