I would get the smallest possible. Better off road and better on road comfort. 20 or 21 inch. L405 2016 - Supercharged V6 petrol 380hp |

My D350 has 23 inch wheels fitted and I cannot in all honesty say there is anything whatsoever the matter with them. They ride as well as any car I have and better than most. I am thinking that the latest protocol of NVH had negated the need for higher profile tyres. 2006 S/C owned from new. Black, sand with black inserts. Shes a thirsty girl. ( now gone)

I am interested to add to this topic. I have a AB with 23 inch rims. I have just completed a 500 mile round trip and have started to notice a vibration through the car at 74 mph and above. I have owned the car for a year and find the ride superb on local journeys but the motorway speeds are now becoming harsh. Now what I don’t know is whether this is the bad quality of our tarmac or reflective of 23 inch wheels or whether a pot hole has bent a wheel. Would be very interested to hear from

It's a worry, it's one thing with such low profile rubber going offroad and going over rocks and boulders at walking pace, you just need to be carefull of the outcrops of rocks damaging the sidewalls & rims, or admiring your Maverick coolness as you drive past the high street shop windows (if you are allowed to) admiring those 23" pieces of automotive scuplture you just raided the kiddies piggy bank to buy.

I agree, but now I have found out its the rim thats bent, and a tyre totally destroyed. It had a monster bubble on it when I put up the pressure, I have recalled exactly where the pothole was. On the road into Storrigton in West Sussex on my way to Goodwood Members. I am going to persist and see whether I can get a claim out of the Council for a wheel and tyre. Although I need to check the rear near side as that also went into the pothole . Thats going to be about £1500 a wheel and £360 a tyre , just under £4k. 2006 S/C owned from new.

Just a thought. Do you have the dashcam? It stores bumps.

…or, the app stores journeys which might be useful evidence. |

I don’t have a dash cam. Are you referring to the LR offering ? If you can share any more information I would be grateful. I have already printed off the journey as evidence. Thanks very much. So annoying 2006 S/C owned from new. Black, sand with black inserts. Shes a thirsty girl. ( now gone)

Yes I have the JLR dealer fit front and rear dashcam. It bleeps at me if I go too fast over a speed bump and I believe it records the event but I’m not an expert. I think of it as added insurance.
