Looks good

Definitely putting 45s on mine when they're ready for replacement. The roads around here are awful, so if it makes the ride better it's got to be the way to go for me.

Thanks for the post, I was wondering if the bigger profile would make much difference

I too, have done this ,gone back to 20" with the hankook 275-45 profile .and agree that compared to the 22" wheels they are better.the steering is definitely lighter ,the ride is also better but not as much as I'd hoped .probably expecting too much

Have been using that size tyre on my Sports for around the the last 4 years, from a personal point of view found it the better size with the higher sidewall giving slightly more protection to the Rim plus a bit Smoother Ride. Never had any issues with Speedo being out of Calibration probably varies by about 1mph or L/R Warranty not being a approved size. Even ran that size Tyre on Sport Rims on my old P38 and that's a while ago.

Did L/R make any comment about having he 45s on. Mines still under warranty, was going to pop in and ask their thoughts?

Hi

No they never ever commented working on the basis they actually noticed as some of them do leave a bit to be desired. I think a great deal of it may be dependent on the Individual Dealership.

I think you should have gone for these

Just noticed their only a bargain £630 on the AA website

The description of those tyres is hilarious!

Or good for reverse gear....

Does putting 45s risk any driveline issues as they are non stock? Visitor from fullfatrr.com

As long as they're all the same, Rob, the driveline will be fine as they're not too much bigger.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Have you got some pics of those 21s?

There are a couple in my gallery.

Just got some 275/45 R20 Hankooks fitted, tread pattern looks good & fills the arches nicely, shame LR scratched my alloys fitting them

I like the idea of the 45 wall, but I only need to replace two tyres. Can I do this or do all 4 need changing?
