I run 255 55 20 General Grabber AT3 and very happy. Spare fits in wheel well at 20psi. Carry a small compressor

Same, although my spare fits in at standard pressure - not sure what it’ll be like getting it out though. |

Just got a set of GG AT3’s in 255 55 20 - sensibly priced and they look good - toyed with the wider 275 some on here have recommended |

I have the BFG AT 275 55 20 on my L322 SC, it rubs on full lock but is not terrible.

Check out the Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail. They just came out and is the direct replacement for the Discoverer AT3 4S. |

My 2012 WM had Goodyear Duratrac 255/55R19 on style 15 wheels, but there are also 20" Duratracs 255/55R20 which I have on my L405. These (20") have a speed rating of 99mph which will be lower than some of the other choices, but I have found them good in wintry conditions and also off road. Duratracs are the LR homologated off road tyre. They do make fuel consumption worse due to higher rolling resistance and are noisier than standard road tyres. Braking distances are poorer and one has to drive more cautiously, but I am happy to accept these shortcomings for the benefits.

You can lower the standard suspension height via the GAP IID tool by 12mm to offset any stability issues. Insurers are not bothered by tyre size differences as long as the wheel size is OE. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

That's interesting to hear, running different size tyres to those specified on the tyre placard of a vehicle, or tyres with a lower speed rating has always worried me a little. I thought if there was a big claim, say you ran someone over (heaven forbid) - I always thought that the insurers would start to look very carefully at the vehicles tyre sizes and ratings to wriggle out of paying up - and you end up financially ruined. My concerns might be unfounded though. Is there any definative UK guidence on this matter somewhere? I remember reading about a case where a virtually new car was involved in a big claim accident. The insurers practically dismantled it and found it had a leaking rear brake caliper seal. Even though it wasn't due an MOT being under 3 years old, they refused to pay out the claim as the car was deamed to be un-roadworthy! Can't give 'em any excuse!

I run 255/55 R20's and asked my insurer (Admiral) and they said they were only concerned if the stock wheel size was changed so 21 or 22 inch wheels would be an issue even if they had the same rolling radius. Doesn't seem right at all and in many other countries you have to stick very strictly to the OE tyre spec. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Fair enough JayGee, good to hear. I suppose the best advice is to always let your insurance company know!
