Hi, I’m pretty new to landys and need some good all terrain tyres. Been trying to find some but struggling with my size 225/55r17 can anyone recommend any or recommend any sizes that will fit on my current rims without side effects ‍

Yokohama Geolander AT 015 in 225/65/17, which fit just fine, make the vehicle nicer to drive, correct the optimistic speedo and grip perfectly in all conditions.

Thanks buddy, only problem is I can’t find any for that size, not sure if I can put anything else on them as they do 225/60r17 but can’t find any for 225/55. Any idea if the 225/60 would be good on them??

Got 225 /65 17s on mine. No problems and speedo is now spot on... No mods needed. Just fit a 6mm spacer on the spare wheel bracket to stop tyre rubbing on brake light arm. Only place I'd ever put a spacer is on the spare!!!

The speedo will be corrected, not made inaccurate. It reads 10% fast with the tiny standard 225/55/17 tyres, going bigger corrects this inaccuracy.
