Good call. Change mine at 3mm as a) 2.7t aquaplanes quite nicely and b) at that level they are starting to get a bit rubbish when pulling trailers around fields.

275/45. It's within 1% of the rolling circumference of the 255/55/19s fitted at the moment and only 20mm wider.

But being a cheap Disco3 driver, it may be a while before a suitably inexpensive set of 20s come up

Howdy learned colleauges! Been a while. Paul your tyres look like mine

So then, heard a lot bagging out the Conti's and I tend to agree....although I did get 45K km's out of mine. But they flat spotted a lot and wore out on the edges. Mind you I was running them a little low on pressure for a long time (around 35psi). I now run them at 40psi and they seem better.

What is the consensus on what to put on? Mine is on the road 90% of the time, so I want a quiet tyre. Spoke to a tyre dealer in Sydney today who stocked Conti's, Pirelli's and Michelins. He tried to sell me the Pirelli Scorpions.....any experience with those?

I guess I want the quiteness of the Conti's, but also reasonable wear with a bit of off road ability

Good to know that having spent over £40k on a car people are still prepared to wring the last fraction of a mm out of their tyres

And your point is what exactly

That the legal minimum is just that, and that changing your tyres a little earlier may just be the sensible thing to do?
