What type of tyre are you looking for, Bob? All terrain, road only, summer, winter, all season? Kev

I seem to recall reading on here that a member posted that prior to changing from standard, he'd asked his insurance company and they said it was a notifiable modification. May be worth asking yours before you commit, some may charge more and some may refuse cover.
I have to say that the idea of a higher sidewall appeals to me as well, but I tend to keep my cars as standard, I pay enough to insurance companies as it is.

United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Sport Supercharged HSE Baltic Blue

I had exactly this issue when fitting my General Grabber AT3s last year. Contacted my insurers and they needed to place a note on my policy about the swap from 40's to 45's. No charge. However, it is a notifiable modification and was going to be a pain in the rear at renewal having to tell each company who quoted, etc. In the end stuck with the 40's. There is no replacement for displacement - W O Bentley

I did the same when I went for 255/55/20. They made a note on the policy. No charge. Kev

Got my tires on ahead of schedule - loving them! Ride is significantly smoother over bumps with the slight upgrade in sizing and these the Zeon’s have a great feel. It’s only been a few hours but loving the new boots! Sport is very dirty at the moment, I’ll get some poseur shots sorted later.... 2011 Range Rover Sport GT Limited Edition/Santorini Black 5.0 Liter
