can I put 255 45 19" tyres on my 19 " 255 50 wheels??

Got range rover sport wheels on my td5.
On there when I bought it. Question is can
I put 255/45/19 tyres on, much much cheaper,
instead of 255/50/19's that are on there now?
Off to europe 4am Friday, so need to sort it.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Obviously I will replace all 4 tyres.
Part warns i'm afraid, but all matching with
5.5m tread and no repairs, rips bulges etc.

cant see why not might be a bit less comfy with less tyre tho

yep should be fine

to compensate for less sidewall i would advise running slightly more pressure, just in case. 2psi more for example.

this will again make the ride harder, but you may not even notice any difference!

cheers for advice. I will be doing 5 thousand miles in 2 weeks, all motorway, so ride should be fine, getting rid of wheels when i get back, I much prefer 16's. No tramlining, better feel etc

i would work extra hard to get some 16s on before you go

much safer bet if you need to get replacements whilst in a foreign country!

iIv been trying desperately last 2 days, but knowone can guarantee delivery by late Thurs evening. Found a few sets local but without nuts, and I can only gets wheel nuts for 18".
Cant afford stealer prices. Willing to swap mine for 16's if you know any one. 5 19's.

All sorted...Got 5 hurricanes with very good goodyear wranglers on, 18" immaculate condition for £220. Result!
The ride is now transformed, glides (for a disco) over bumps now and seems to handle a bit better too. Very happy.

good stuff

Bloody hell that was a good deal! Where did you find them?? I have a set of those on mine and have just ordered a set of General grabber AT's, £580!!!

flea bay, wanted 325 buy it now, I offered 225, with all nuts and 4 locking ones to. There's a local guy selling four, same as mine for £150, I'v got his number, with good tyres, no nuts though.Knoweone wants 17's or 18's anymore just those stupidly wide wheels!
