Hello i have recently heard a friend of mine is putting 275/40/20 on a stock discovery 2 I am unsure these will fit his discovery and I have told him with that size profile I would not be off roading in it incase damaging the rim what are other people thought on off roading on this tyre size it seems abit odd to me.
20 inch wheels

you should give him a slap lolI have warned him about it but when he has damaged the rims he will learn lol do u think that 275 will catch the arches on articulation I think they might I have tried to explain this to him but it's his first landrover and he thinks he knows everything.Really

He'll soon know more.
You cant tell someone who thinks they know everything.
I'm buy far no expert but he has just brought this discovery and have told him all the little common faults to check like if there is oil in the injector loom replace it and check if it uses any oil or water he doesn't care but the worst thing about it is he is gonna ruin a landrover and that will be another that will get scrapped due to being neglected.Hi @TD5Tom
Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrdddddddddggggghhh , low profiles on , a 4x4 , why just why
Quick , nurse I need my meds, snigger
pot holes will be waiting for them !!!
also know someone like that who thinks he knows everything , so let them get on with it , u can only buy try mate
When I first got my discovery I went for a suitable tyre size 235/70/16 I do have mud tyres but I do off road be he think he is gonna be able to handle rocks and mud on them stupid low profiles he doesn't even have a spare 20 inch wheel the spare is a 16 so that wont help the half shafts and diffs if he puts that on it.Hi @TD5Tom

indeed a great shame, but the main difference is u have common sense
Alas seen many of the later rangies or discos that have low profiles , can always spot them in car parks and completely ruined but don’t stop there’s they add a body kit as well ,
Even saw a post the other day about can I drive my Range Rover on its lowest setting , christ almighty
I dont get people these days they just dont understand a landrover is a 4x4 now I'm not saying drive them off road if u dont want to but if landrover wanted 20 inch low profiles on a discovery 2 I would of thought the would put them on a landrover is a go anywhere vehicle but not with low profiles there not.indeed a great shame, but the main difference is u have common sense

funny nearly the same as I put on my D3 , 235/70/ 17 , fitted a set of cooper AT/3
that will be interesting to listen to it going up the road with an individual 20 inch tyre , lol
pic looks about right for a 40 sidewall , ruined
Oh no I dont get how they think that looks good I think I can hear the half shafts snapping from here on it lol
hit the nail on the head, basically ruins the discos capabilities by fitting low profiles, also if driving on sand u won’t have anything left by the time you’ve let the tyres down by a small amount
This is the tread on mine, didn’t want an over aggressive tyre for the road
plus hope he tells his insurance company , might not like the mod and refuse it
lol, indeed, don’t see the point of why buy a 4x4 , but then fit Low profiles, body kit , try and lower it or the best question is how can I get better MPG
Yea mpg lol u buy a landrover to enjoy them not care about the fuel.lol, indeed, don’t see the point of why buy a 4x4 , but then fit Low profiles, body kit , try and lower it or the best question is how can I get better MPG
looks smart , like that and good to see one in its natural environment
haven’t really given mine a thorougher run off road, , had to rebuild it first , lol However did very well in the snow ,
Indeed and must admit for such heavy motors I think they do really well , unless it’s a V8 of course , lol
Yea the sad thing about this lad who has got low profiles he has just spent £140 a tyre on some general grabbers ats I only paid £200 for a set of 5.
Ouch, more money than sense , just think could blow them all in one day after hitting a few pot holes , or hit a kerb when parking
blimey that was a bargain, think I paid around £550 for a set of 5
