I'm looking for new tyres on mine....

S/C ... need to make sure the tyres are up to the JOB

Contis fitted at the moment are 275 / 40 R20 106Y speed rating and load index are critical.

Hankooks speed rating is only a "W" maximum

I am going to stick with what was supplied - however I was lucky enough this weekend to have located some. Just need to do the deal.

What about Michelin Diamaras?

These are what were recommended by my friendly Cypriot rip-off merchant tyre fitter when I need to replace the three older tyres. Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

Job done =

Went and purchased 4 x Almost new OE Continentals 275/40/20 106Y ........... having only covered less than a 1000 miles. They still have the pimples on the tread pattern. PERFECT and all for £300

My contact has also got some Brand new ones genuine again.. they are £150 EACH though !

He also has a set of the new FFRR Supercharged alloys for sale/offer and a couple of RRS s/c alloys

A useful contact & only lives/operates a few miles from me

2013 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Autobiography Stornoway Grey

All the 20" tyres on the sport are rubbish in terms of their sidewalls.

Everyone knows how mine suffered when I took it offroad.

Funnily enough, I don't think my dealer has noticed the alloy wheel damage and cuts in the sidewalls, there's no way they can sell it on as it is! That's going to cost them a few grand. L319 D4 HSE
