When grass becomes this slick!!!!!!!!!!! Embarassed

 Life should be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving skidding in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO what a ride!

That's what I would call 'solid' grass. The stuff I got stuck on was more like ChrisR's vid

Lots of customers going for the 275/45x20 option, General AT and Cooper LTZ are good choices. Thumbs Up Andy....

How does that affect the ride compared to 255/50? How would the LTZs compare to the Contis in terms of on road handling and noise? They're a much chunkier tread pattern

Well all I can say is that we have fitted both but mainly the General AT and have not had any negative feedback on either, I am sure others will be along soon.

Feel free to call if you need to discuss your options. Thumbs Up Andy....

As per earlier in the thread I have run several tyres in the 275/45 x 20 and ride is excellent due to the wider tyre. The rolling radius is nearly identical and due to the wider tread and a slightly smaller sidewall the handing improves. All in all a good choice in my opinion as there are lots more tyres to choose from.

You will inevitably face a trade off in noise and on-road performance with a more off-road biased tyre - in normal day-to-day use you probably won't notice a huge amount of difference with an AT tyre, but under test conditions you would expect to see worse wet and dry road grip and braking performance (and worse fuel consumption).

Unless I'm looking in the wrong place, the Cooper Zeon LTZ doesn't have a high enough speed rating to use on a recent Range Rover.
