Tyre Size

I have a RRS 2012 autobiography . It has 255/55/R20 110Y tyres on. Everywhere I look for new tyres are saying its the wrong size tyre for my vehicle ???
Any thoughts ? the ride seems fine ....................TT

275/40/20 is the official standard size.

Someone before you has fitted tyres with a deeper sidewall. Many go for a 45 profile for comfort. Kev

I think 255/55/20 is either the Disco 4 size or someone has fitted RRS2 sized tyres to it by mistake (I think RRS2 uses 255/55/20). 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Before you go for 275’s make sure the wheels are wide enough for them,yours might be complete wheels from a disco that someone has fitted & they aren’t as wide. Andy.

Just fitted another set of 275/40/20 to my MY12, I looked at 45's when changing yet stayed with the stock profile. Had the geometry set again, wow what a difference! 2018 Telsa MS

Cheers Col, weird why they have fitted them on mine Question They look good so I'll leave them on I think, as long as it's not doing any harm..

South Africa 2013 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Siberian Silver

255/55 was the standard size for ZA, not sure why.

It definitely rides more comfortably than the ones with 275/40 or 45 that I've driven. Thumbs Up --

Also a thing to remember is your speedo will not read accurate unless its been calibrated with new wheels.Put the sizes in here & it will give your the speeds ect.

255/55x20 is MASSIVE!!!!

275/40x20 would be standard, equivalent upgrade would be 255/50x19
