Winter Tyres

Land Rover released an updated list of the winter tyres that they currently approve.

Please consult your dealer for up-to-date information.

I was a passenger in a RRS that had a new set of the latest Grabber ATs. Very impressed with the ride, cornering and quietness.
I'm told they're very good in the snow and ice?
Has anyone tried them?

I have just noticed sizes differ from handbook Confused

List - 255/50 R19 101H
H/book - 255/55 R19 111H

List - 275/40 R20 106V
H/book - 255/50 R20 109H

I can understand tyre make/model change but not sizes Question Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Nice to see they have amended their choice of winter tyres for the 2011 Discovery 4.

Handbook says 255/65 R19 111H

Update list says 255/55 R19 111H

When I pointed out the 255/65 R19 tyre had the wrong aspect ratio I was told in no uncertain terms, Landrover do not make mistakes and that is the correct tyre to use.

So much for information printer in the handbooks.

Having now checked handbook winter sizes it would appear size difference is 4.8% - presumably this was a mistake and the amendment corrects this Confused

I think LR should have written to owners if this is true - I for one would have followed the book had I not seen this revision online Evil or Very Mad Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

The online handbook still gives 255/65 R19 111H as the correct winter tyre for the 2011 Disco 4. Landrover's Customer Relations Executive Mrs M Stokes confirmed this as correct, although I doubt she knew what a tyres aspect ratio means. Interestingly, when I asked to speak to someone at Landrover's Technical department she said they don't have a technical department.

Why Landrover puts anyone with zero mechanical knowledge as their first any only point of contact frightens me.
