I have 20s on my RR and I’ve not broken a wheel in a pothole, but I am careful going up kerbs and parking as there isn’t that much tyre to take the bang.

It seems that you should be looking for a vehicle that has the rear e-diff, then fit a tyre like the Duratrac to whichever size rims that it has, assuming they are either 19" or 20". If 20" then fit 255/55 rather than 255/50 and if 19" then maybe also consider 255/60 GG AT3, although the ride with these is harsher than usual. |

255/55 are not factory standard. 255/50 are the normal tyre size for 20 inch wheels. 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Can one use non std tyres in Great Britain? Will the insurance pay in case of accident? |

I’m running General Grabber AT3’s 255/55/20. Told my insurance company and it doesn’t make any difference. |

UK insurance companies are only interested in non OE wheel sizes but not non OE tyre sizes. The wisdom of this is obviously questionable…… 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

I was only contemplating this recently and you're feedback would be great. my new to me RR came with new tyres. They are not a brand I would have picked as the road noise is pretty bad. That said its a thousand euro I don't have to spend right now. That said, when I go to change I will probably go for Pirelli Scorpion. I'm currently on 255/50/20, Ive seen a bit about the 50 vs 55's but has anyone run both? Have you noticed a difference with comfort?

Having run both sizes on several L322’s (all Pirelli’s) I’d say you’d be hard pressed to tell the difference - adjusting the tyre pressures to suit your preference is more noticeable though.

A 'Harsh ride' is a common complaint with quite a few owners of L322 and L405 with the variable damper system and has been covered by extensive threads with so far no definative solution or explanation. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

My 2004 322 had 255/55R19 Pirelli scorpion zero, these worked fine as a road tyre, good balance between handling, braking, comfort, noise, fuel use. Poor on slippery surfaces off road, especially if towing.
