Does the spare still fit in the tyre well ?
How does going this much bigger affect performance and consumption ?
Tyre Manufactures recommend going no more than 3% bigger on tyres.

New General Grabber AT2's fitted (R 2950-00 each ), and TPMS installed, works brilliantly. 8)
Thanks for the offer on the BFG's Heine.
PS:
Heine, you can easily remove the A Pillar Cover and hide your wirring neatly out the way, you can also unclip the Light switch pannel, and pick up a permenant power source for the TPMS from the light switch. All wiring then disapears. Disco4 SDV6 HSE 2013, Faultmate MVS2.

Disco3cb - can you advise which colour wiring you patched into for power source from the light switch? I am struggling to find suitable positive and negative feeds. There is a thick brown wire which I assume is positive and switched via ignition - but did you find a negative or simply fed negative to ground? Mine is 2007 Disco3 HSE.
Many thanks

I will remove the lightswitch pannel, and take note of the wiring and post back here.Disco4 SDV6 HSE 2013, Faultmate MVS2.
Many thanks. In case wiring colours differ - perhaps you could count from left viewed from above with plugged in wires in normal position and indicate position of wires used for pos and neg as well as colour? There are two rows of wiring - top and bottom.
Kind regards
