285/40-r22

Does anyone have any experience running these tyres on the discovery 3. I have seen plenty of posts being on the Range Rover but I'm unsure if they will fit. Also will I get any real benefits running a 40 profile vs 35 ?

More info - I currently have pirelli scorpion on at the moment (255/60-18.) which I'm planning to keep for off road. I'm looking at toyo proxies in 285/40-22 if they fit with NO scrubbing or if not I will be settling with 285/35-22 in either Nexens or Achilles. Any thoughts people ?

I am currently running these on my disco 4 & it has improved its handling considerably
No softness in the corners.
Sorry they are 285 35 22

Thanks for the reply. It looks like I will go with the 285/35r22. I did like the idea of going with a 40 profile but don't want to risk it rubbing. Surely someone here is running 285/40r22 ?

Oh well....... I took the risk and ordered the Toyo Proxes st2 with the 40 profile. I will post some pics and a review

Update: They are spot on No rubbing in access mode and no drop in ride comfort.
