Obviously there will be a cost involved cant believe the tyre wall is 50 on a 20 alloy - any pics of the wheels - what does your owners manual say ??

Seek more advice - a few more forum members will add there input

I'm a great believer in leaving as standard unless ongoing weather conditions dictate otherwise - but that's me 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

According to http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html they will add an extra 4.8% inaccuracy to speed reading (unless the speedometer is adjusted accordingly).

Both my current and previous RRS had Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico all season tyres from factory.

I put Micheline Latitude Diamaris on my previous RRS when the Pirellis needed replacing. The Michelins were summer tyres which suited me because I had a separate winter wheel/tyre set.

For winter tyres I have used Vredestein Wintrac 4 Xtreme.

Can highly recommend all 3 above - had no issues or complaints.

Others recommend Hankook and General too but I haven't got any experience of them yet.

Have a look at www.tyreleader.co.uk among others. I have recently bought Vredesteins from them at a good price (even cheaper now) and can recommend them.

I have a feeling that it is the FFRR size for 20 inch tyres. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

In the manual it says that 255/50/20 are the recommended winter tyres Current 2010 Range Rover Sport HSE with the usual toys: timed climate, Rosen headrest screens, tow bar with twin electrics, Blackvue HD cam
