You need to Run Either 45 or 40 profile all round Not Both, personally I prefer 45 profile bit better ride and slightly more rim protection.

Your centre diff won't be happy if you run different sizes front and rear.

Just re-read this post, if your rear tyres are worn as you say Outer edge 5mm, Centre 5mm and Inside edge Bald, as there are normally only around 8mm on a new tyre I think you have a serious Suspension/Alignment Issue somewhere. I would suggest you also have a 4 wheel Alignment check done as well or new tyres may well go the same way.

Yeah, got it booked in for 2 new rears and a hunter hawkeye alignment, but if not that it might be the bushes maybe? |

One would like to think if it was only MOT'd in May there shouldn't be any excessive wear in the Bushes or this would have been at least an Advisory as well.

Didn't find excessive movement in mot or service on Friday, so hopefully just alignment issue! |

To be honest I think there was a clue in 4 wheel Alignment Check, personally I wouldn't use Kwik Fit to even check my tyre pressures.

I'd drive the 20 miles to get it aligned properly:thumbsup: , assuming that the one 20 miles away isn't a qwikfit also |

Yeah, looks like a plan, just can't believe that LR dealer outsource to kwik-fit under their name... |
