Winter Tyres.... and Remote Heating...

Think i can keep my 20" 275 winter rubber to fit to winter rims that will be compatible with the new car?

Anyone going to take the chance that remote heating can be aftermarket enabled like the disco 4?

Hoping that the old holes are aligned with the new... Rolling Eyes
And however the wheel of my14 is larger, the 20" should be 255/55 Smile

There is a thread on wheels, there are three potential issues:
Pcb is one thing
Tyre profile another
Wheel clearance over calliper a a final thing.

I would suggest there will be a lot to enable, if you get the right core stuff Mike

Data From the new RRS handbook:

Land Rover approved winter tyre sizes

19 inch wheels
235/65 R19

20 inch wheels
255/55 R20
265/50 R20

21 inch wheels
265/45 R21
275/45 R21

22 inch wheels
275/40 R22

The 20" wheels on the new RRS are an inch narrower than the old model 8.5J cv 9.5J - hence the new recommended width of 255 rather than 275mm.

Also fitting 275/40 R20 instead of 255/55 R20 will cause the speedo to over read by nearly 5mph due to the smaller diameter.

It doesn't answer the question as to whether the existing wheels will fit. My own view would be that as the wheel width (not diameter) has been reduced, there is a chance that the tyre will rub the wheel arch liner on full lock.

What would be useful would be for the first forum member to get a new RRS to meet with someone and try the new version with the old wheels. With care, no damage should be inflicted on vehicle or wheel. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

In fact, my question was: you can use the old rims with new tires? the holes of the pins of the old rims will be compatible on the wheel hub? if I take the old rims can mount them on the new RRS using standard new tires?

We don't know whether the old wheels will fit on the new RRS. The new tyres won't fit on the old rims because the new rims are not as wide as the old rims. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
