What's the largest size in profile that can be used as I hate thin tyres that make your teeth rattle over British roads, can't understand people with cigarette width paper tyres it's a 4x4 for Gods sake not a cayenne  _____________________________________________________

I agree mate, either stick to the factory size or more sidewall  MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

I think this has been asked many times but I think it's 275 45 20 which are often on merc ML's but don't quote me.

it is 275 45 20 - these are the closest to std OEM. Most 275/45 are slightly less in diameter by a few mm.

However, my General Grabbers were measured when new with a tape around the circumference - they are exactly the same as the Scorpions that came off. The tread depth on the Grabbers was significantly more at 11mm when new hence there being no difference. 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

Can you use 55 instead of 45 as i prefer more rubber _____________________________________________________

not sure re 275/55 - as it is wider and taller - there may be a clearance issue on the struts. 255/55 are OK AFAIK as many have fitted the 255/55/20 off the L405 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

note that FF rims are 8.5j and RRS rims [which fit the FF] are 9.5j ....i had 295 45 20 tyres on RRS rims fitted to my td6 for quite a while... ... - .- -.

I have Cooper Zeon LTZ on 285/50/20 and they JUST fit. Have been very good on and offroad (quiet too).

Not all FFs can go smaller than 20 inch wheels, like my 5.0 for example.

BlackPerth, thanks for that, good to know when I need to update my shoes on the 5.0  MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

285/50R20 gives an outer tyre diameter (according to good old fashioned maths) of 650.8mm
My tyres have an outer diameter of 680.8 so on radius you'll have a spare 15mm to play with. Mine are also 305's so you'll have 20mm extra space in the arches.

I'd go for the 285/50R20 Sidewall is king

What about the speedo readings going bigger? 2004 RR 4.4 V8 Autobiography

275/55/20 on mine, speedo being out is really a myth, maybe by a midge's ball hair but that's it!might be tempted to part with them too, not had a bad winter for a while so they're sat in the garage.....
