OK, after our first pay & play day in my mates Disco, two 'limiting factors' became apparent, and both can be (partially) solved/improved in one go, with a change of tyres - ground clearance and grip.
He is running Pirelli Scorpion A/TR tyres in a 235/75/16 fitment I believe. My RRC is running narrower 205/80/16 A/T's too, which I think give similar ground clearance.
So, what tyres would you recommend? They need to be OK for road use too, but I also want to be able to go greenlaning without chewing them up, but also cope with the odd pay & play day!
I have read this: Range Rover Classic Tire Choices but still can't decide! The 215/85/16's give roughly an extra inch of ground clearance but will probably be (and look) very narrow, so would rather something a little wider to keep the proportions right!
So, can anyone recommend a tyre size that doesn't require arch modifiations but will raise the diffs and bodywork off the ground a bit and give some extra grip in mud too?? They do need to be 'road-worthy' so no ridiculously treaded M/TR tyres please, but something more aggresive than the current ones would be good.
Cheers!
P.S. Have also posted this in 'Greenlaning' as thought it would be interesting to see if everyone recommends the same thing!
