You can mix and match any size wheels and tyres from the FFRR models with no effect to speedo etc.

Make sure they are 255/55 R19 anything else other than 255/50 R20 is not Standard LR fitments. |

As someone else has alluded to, use the tactic I use with engineers on my aeroplane. If you think you may be getting fobbed off, e.g. 'that oil usage is fine and within the limits' but you suspect it is cack, I say 'OK just seemed a bit high to me, can you show me the manual where it states that burn rate is within limits and I'll take the jet.'

Quick update. Rather than face the problem tomorrow, I called the dealer again today to try and finally put my mind at rest. I know I've been told that the tyres are the correct size, but I still can't get my head around that I wrote down 255/50 when I viewed the car. I can't shake the feeling that I'm being told what the correct answer should be, but that no one's actually looked at the car.

a;so you CANNOT just change two tyres on an axle and then do the others when they wear out the FFRR is full time 4x4 and you could damage a part of the transmission due to different axle speeds , so being as you have differnt size to std youll need to change all four to the correct size and check the spare |

OK, so it's the latter - they think I'm a complete lunatic! |

Will do, but it's done nothing but chuck it down since I picked it up. Wating for a bit of sun and a quick clean up and I'll take a few snaps. I'll even take a few of the tyres! |
