i would be going for a good allterrain (bfg's) in 235/85r16 but for that you will need a 2" lift and a camel cut

FFS why do we all assume that we know better - LR have sent the last 60yrs and god knows how much cash researching all types of terrain and driving, why is it that we all assume that we NEED to make massive mods to our cars to go down some lanes - which are supposed to be classed legally the f'ing same as the M6.

Not a rant but a valid point I stayed with the tyres my RR had fitted and have done the same with the disco.
If somewhere along a green lane I think there would be a problem I reverse or turn around and go back, unless I can bypass without doing any damage to the lane.
