OK, the Grabber AT3 in 255/55R20 WILL fit in the wheel well, but only just! When the tyre fitter put it in, the floor was proud by half an inch and seemed to be obstructed by the sidewall, so I got him to deflate it which helped slightly. Anyway, once home I rattled the wheel around a bit and it settled in perfectly with the floor fitting flush. There looks to be enough clearance to allow at least 2.0 bar, but I’ll confirm in a day or two.

Anyone got experience of Avon ZX7 255 50 20? Rating at A wet grip and B fuel economy with 71dbs.

Replacing all four tyres and currently running Pirelli Scorpion Zeros in same size.

Just thought are they good value for money and a decent tyre or will I regret leaving Pirelli? Thanks 2009 Land Rover Rang Rover Vogue TDV8 - Buckingham Blue with Ivory Leather - 20” Alloys with Pirelli’s

2011 supercharged 255 55 r20

hi, has anyone with a supercharged moved from 50 to 55r20? I am afraid to do it in case I can have some mods to be done. If done, is ride comfort improved? thanks in advanced

Hi John,
I have Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season - 255/55 R20 110Y XL (LR) on my 5.0 S/C. Note the LR for Land Rover fitment tyre. Yes it's more comfortable, especially on potholed roads. It also has the effect of making your speedo read bang-on accurate, so be aware of that.

Hi Bob, thanks very much. What do you mean by "Note the LR for Land Rover fitment tyre"?. Did you have to do any mods or tires fit well? thanks
