Good afternoon folks. I have a 2012 Westminster running on 20” wheels and AT Grabber tyres. I had an emergency stop a few days ago at about 30mph and was a bit disconcerted by squealing and not very quick stopping. It was a bit damp on a country road. I’m thinking new tyres and maybe changing to 19” wheels. Are 19” ok on the Westminster? The tyres are miles cheaper and the ride shouldn’t better? Any thoughts anyone?

Only one 19" wheel will fit on over the big pot Brembos. Stick with your 20" IMHO Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"
2025MY Defender D350 90 in Silicon Silver on coils
1974 Series 3 Lightweight = "Millie"
Many, many other Landies over the years

Thank you. That is the info that I need. Simpler to stick with what I know!

Also with 20's you have a good selection of tyres available in 255/55/20 or the older L322 standard 255/50/20.
Spare rims readily available too from L405 and L494s.

Thinking 255/55/20 Pirelli Scorpions.
Unless anyone knows any good alternatives?
I’m not an off-roader!

"Get some Pirelli LR specific tyres like 99% of L322 owners"

You just made that up didn't you?

I suspect its neither factual or accurate, please prove me wrong 🤔

 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

I must be in the 1% running Grabber AT3’s

I use General Grabber AT in 255 55 20. Superb tyres. Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

I run Grabbers on the Westie with 19" wheels, so I must be the 1% of the 1%!!!  The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

GG AT3 in 255/60R19.

Are AT tyres classed as standard spec on an l322 or do you need to let your insurance company know? I am thinking of getting some but if it puts insurance up i will give them a miss. Also own a 1976 Land Rover 101 3.5 V8.
Previously owned 1991 Range Rover Vogue 3.9 V8.

I use D4 19" rims as the L322 version are like hens teeth here.
