United States 2006 Range Rover Sport 4.4 V8 HSE Chawton White

I only saw this tyre on 22" rims here in the US, Overfinch USA uses them quite a bit when they upgrade stock Sports wheels with their Tiger or Supersport rims. I actually know a few owners that have them and are very happy with them, but only on 22" wheels.

Adam,
I only paid £200 for my replacement Conti - from my dealer. I would check them out for a set of 4 maybe ?

I have also spoken direct to LR with regard to options/tyre for the S/C & they said to stay with the conti's Shocked

I love the F1's, but they are about £270 a corner, and not sure what they would be like off road compared to the Contis.

The reason I ask is that the eBayers selling the stormer and std supercharged replica wheels on eBay package them up with these tyres.

however, for a couple of hundred more, Nene Valley Offroad do a Stormer set with the Conti or Pirelli tyre. They also do it with a 255/50/20 tyre (same as the FFRR SC) I want to ask them if this tyre is suitable for the RRS SC as there may be difference ein rolling radius etc. L319 D4 HSE

England 

Having done some quick calculations, there is a 5% difference in the rolling diameter between the two tyre sizes quoted, with the 255/50x20 being the larger of the two.
This should give a slight improvement in fuel economy, although the trip computer won't know about it.

Ah, but, it could also affect the computer in terms of speedo, mpg, sat nav timing etc (So I have been told) L319 D4 HSE

Belgium 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black

Going to a 255/50/20 size would cause some speedometer error - one of the UK tyre/wheel package sites has a calculator that shows that this size tyre on the RRS would result in a 4.81% difference in circumference from the OEM size - which would result in a 70 mph hour speedometer reading being actually 73.37 mph... 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE, Java/Ebony/Cherry, Privacy, Sunroof, PTI, Premium Sound, SatNav, Cold Climate, Tow kit, CarStyle coded grill and vents, Tasmods, Stormers, JE Exhaust, Autobiography badge
