Brian,

Have you tried uploading into the gallery - I have never experienced any problems doing this

Brian - uploading photos is a piece of cake! You upload them to your gallery then paste the link from the gallery into your forum post. Uploading pics to the gallery is just a question of selecting to upload photos, browse to their location on your pc and select them.

Like MDP, I'd very much like to see a close up photo of your OEM 20" wheels with 295's mounted. 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE, Java/Ebony/Cherry, Privacy, Sunroof, PTI, Premium Sound, SatNav, Cold Climate, Tow kit, CarStyle coded grill and vents, Tasmods, Stormers, JE Exhaust, Autobiography badge

Also, as rolling circumference has increased and the speedo readout reduced, I'm informed the recorded mileage may theoretically diminish by the corresponding percentage (ie 10,000miles would drop to 9,000'ish.., please correct me if I'm wrong).

Nope you're bang on the money, any change in rolling circumference has a corresponding % change in speedo, trip, odo and any derived readings such as mpg etc - you just have to be careful to know which direction a particular change will go to assess it as a "good" or "bad" change, eg if you fit a taller tyre with 10% more circumference then your odo, trip and speedo readings will all reduce by 10% (good!) but so will any derived mpg figures (bad!) Cheers

Wider tyres will result in more tramlining and greater road noise for certain, pus some possible issues with turning circle and steering lock to lock ratio.

The rolling radius will be the same so have no effect on speedometer etc.

Those measurements are the same sidewall profile so will offer absolutely no extra protection to the rims, which as I know, is poor.

I understand this will probably not be a consideration but wider profiles will be worse off road, you'd be floating about and not have enough purchase to make headway. The stock size tyres are bad enough as it is!
