Hi

Looking for some new winter alloys to conquer the norwegian winter:) . Are 20" to big??

Studded or non-studded winter tyres?

Best size? 275/40/20? RRS 2006 2.7 HSE

I drove to the Alps last year on 275 40 20 AT Grabbers, amazing tyres never once struggled.

I think you can also get them with a 45 profile which may be more fitting for a Norwegian winter?

Anyway depressing subject ... we haven't even had summer yet

I know! we got like 2 weeks of sun and now its just rain and cold:(

Time to prepare for the great winter and skiing;)

so it was good driving on non-studded? think of going for the same aswell RRS 2006 2.7 HSE

I've got 20" wheels with Vredestein Wintrac Extremes on them and they are superb

That said, I suspect 19"s would be even better due to the higher profile on the tyre, but, if you've
already got 20"s then, as I said, mine work well with the Vredesteins.

Don't know about the studded tyres, haven't had the need to go that extreme. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black
2013 Evoque 5 Door Pure Tech SD4 - Orkney Grey with Panoramic Roof (Mrs E's new baby)

GONE - RRS - 3.0 TDV6 HSE - Santorini (2010)
GONE - RRS - 2.7 TDV6 HSE - Java Black (2007)
GONE - Porsche Boxster S - 3.2 - Black

still think 20" looks more right. but still not sure if Im going for studded or non studded. RRS 2006 2.7 HSE

Yes we have and it is official, it was on a Thursday this year

Got a great deal on these alloys/tyres:

Alloys:
Dimensjon Boltsirkel ET Hub
9,5x20 5x120,7 53 72,6

Tyres:

275/45/20 Federal

Go for it?? RRS 2006 2.7 HSE

I didn't realise Federal make winter tyres? Are they not just all season tyres?

That profile would make you speedo inaccurate, wouldn't bother me but some people don't like that.

If you don't mind me asking whats the great deal?

Got alot of PM's about Alloys for sale so I will let everyone on the Norwegian LR Forum about your deals.

Should be easy to sell

But does someone here knows if the original 2010 Sport alloys will fit my 2006 HSE?

^^^ Yes they will, those are the style i'm after but not diamond cut, not for winter anyway, i have those wheels for summer.
I'm considering getting some winter wheels and tyres, i would want HSE style 3 wheels with 275-40-20 Vredestein wintrac xstream 4's if anyone has got a set for sale, i could be intrested, just let me know via PM.

would it be more comfort going 275/45/20? RRS 2006 2.7 HSE

It would but i'm going off L/R recommendation and approved size, i don't want my warranty to be void for fitting the wrong size of tyre
