There's a 285/45/19 with a rating of 111W
[had 111 rating on my Conti UHP's]
Don't know if the 45 profile is suitable though?
Al Cope's yer man for that.

I am about to bite the bullet & buy a set of stormers & i also like the look of the grabbers (& the price), there are no rubbing issues i assume?

What would you say the ride quality is like in comparison to the Conti's?

My only concern is the wife noticing that i have spent even more money on the car, but i'm going to convince her that it's cheaper to buy new wheels & tyres than it is just tyres. Wish me luck!

Sorry Chedarwards, been away for a few days and no recepton for laptop.

No problems at all on the rubbing issue.
Had 295/40 Contis now have 295/45 profile Grabbers.
Grabers give a much smoother ride.
re Swmbo - it is an investment as you can always sell your standard wheels and recoup some of the cost.

for wheels n tyres contact Devon at 0870 7000331

Just remember that fitting non-standard size tyres could invalidate your insurance unless you tell them.

Just done a deal with your man Devon, i gave him the cheapest price i had managed to obtain & he came back & beat it. I'd rather deal with someone from a recomendation rather than taking my luck via ebay etc.

Many thanks for your assistance & also for the advice on the tyres.

Good stuff Andrew.
The guy always does me a good deal.
Although in Essex, it's worth a trip if remotely near.
Better get ready to 'high five' my man.

btw, tell them what pressure you want in tyres [should be the same as standard tyres] as they always inflate too high. ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Still love them and they're wearing well.
Had 1 set 20" Contis and 2 sets 18" Wranglers in past.
Grabbers are best of all. ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

I can only agree with Ron, they are great road tyres & as an added bonus they look great (especially on Stormers). In Tesco's car park today i had 2 other D3 drivers comment firstly on the Stormers & then on the Grabbers.
