17 inch alloys need new tyres
Can anyone suggest a different tyre to the Goodyear to fit the 17inch alloy rims please? Is there a BFG All Terrain that will fit?
Thanks

Hi
The BFG is what I want, do you know which one I can use? They dont make a 235/70/17 which is what is on the rim now, but they do have a 265/70/17, will it fit ok, is the speed rating ok?
Thanks very much for your help.

The speed rating is indeed a problem.
The disco requires H (=210)
The BFG A/T is only Q (=160)
But.... as for now, no A/T or mud exists with a speed index H
Or you'll have to wait for the AT2 from general.
But, do they check the speed index in France?In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin. www.m-release.com
What about the load rating? Probably more important than the speed ratingThe End

In France all the manufacturer tires specifications are checked when you go to the technical check.
I think first check is after 3 years , then every 2 years.
If you don’t have the accurate tires, then your will not have the permit to use the car!!! "Lady": Discovery 3 HSE Seven TDV6 Tonga Green.
