Tyre review for Land Rover Discovery 3 tyres on This customer had 4 x Michelin CrossClimate SUV 255/60 R18 V tyres fitted. Perfomance is fantastic. Grip is much better than Goodyear Efficientgrip in all conditions. Also much better on wet grass and mud. Fuel economy has suffered by nearly 10% compared to Goodyears.
As at Jan 2009, all Discovery 3 factory fit and dealer fit wheels (17, 18 & 19') have been rated at 940kg per rim. While it is physically possible to fit wheels from the Range Rover Sport and some later FFRR wheels, it should be noted that the rims are rated for a lower weight.
FFRR - 925kg
RRS - 900kg
Fitment of the FFRR or RRS rims may therefore have an impact on your insurance. If in doubt, always check with your insurer. To date there have been no incidents reported on DISCO3.CO.UK of either FFRR or RRS wheels failing, nor have there been any reports of insurers questioning the fitment of these wheels.

LAND ROVER Discovery car tyres Replacing your LAND ROVER tyres with the perfect match is important when safety, fuel efficiency and longevity are top priority. We’ll help you find LAND ROVER-compatible tyres that are an exact fit for your car – as well as your driving style and conditions. Hi all, Got this new beastie this week, huge improvement in the comfort/interior sector from my series 3 Its a Disco 300 van with a 4.6 V8, auto transmission and twin Arb lockers It runs 35/34 inch Silverstone extreme tyres and a 2 inch bodylift. Since Ill be competing in the standard class, rule.
The dimensions and weight of alternative wheel fitments should be considered relative to the standard Discovery 3 fitments. These are:
PCD = 5/120 (This means a five wheel stud pattern, with the 5 studs on a pitch circle diameter of 120mm. Alternative sizes will literally not fit the Discovery 3 hub). Qr code generator pro 1 2 download free.
Offset = 53P (This dimension is the distance from the wheel hub to the rim edge. Different offsets will narrow or widen the track of your vehicle. Small changes in offset do not seem to impact the performance of Discovery 3).
Land Rover OEM sizes include:
17 x 7 - one design only, weight 11.4kg
18 x 8 - various designs, weight of 5 spoke design 13.6kg
19 x 8 - various designs
Weight - a lower unsprung weight is preferable. However, differences in wheels weights tend to be less significant than variations in tyre weight. A robust MT tyre with a LT construction will weigh around 25kg, compared to a passenger construction road oriented tyre around 15kg.

It should be noted that the standard Disco3 tyre fitment for an HSE model in the United Kingdom is 255/55/19 with a 111 weight rating. The minimum weight rating in the UK is 111 per tyre, while in Australia a lower limit of 109 applies. LR do NOT recommend the fitment of the RRS 255/50/19 107 tyre to the Disco3 due to the smaller rolling circumference and the lower load rating.

Land Rover Discovery 3 Off Road TyresDiscovery 3 35 Inch Tyres Uk
I bought a Land Rover Discover 3 TDV6 S in August 2005 and I am still amazed about this amazing vehicle, my 4th Discovery.
I use my vehicle mainly on tar road as most of the 4X4 owners, but I am driving this vehicle to be able to go on safari into Africa to countries like Mozambique, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi etc.
I fitted Bridgestone Dueler AT tyres on my previous Discovery 2 and on a safari of more than 7000km through Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe, negotiated very bad roads while towing an off-road trailer without having one flat or damaged tyre.
My new Discovery 3 was factory fitted with Good Year HP tyres which gave a very comfortable drive on tar. On my first trip off-road which included about 5kmof slightly rocky terrain on a farm in Mpumalanga, the side wall of one of the tyres was damaged and could not be repaired. I gathered more information on these tyres and was informed that it is 90% on road / 10% off road tyres with a high speed rating.
After 30 000km, the tyres shown substantial wear of about 50%. I found this strange as I got more than 80 000km on a set of BF Goodrich tyres on my first Discovery.
In planning a trip to Namibia which will include the Richtersveld National Park, I started looking for tyres that will be suitable for the type of terrain that will be negotiated. I contacted most tyre manufacturers in South Africa and could not find an off road tyre in the size 235/70/17 or even close to that. The only tyre available for the vehicle was the factory fitted tyre.
The closest tyre available was a Cooper ST 245/70/17 with a 50/50 on road off-road rating. This tyre is used by Kingsley Holgate on his expeditions. I was concerned about the fact that the tyre was bigger and had quite a rough track profile. I decided keep on searching and found a Cooper ATR on the Cooper Tyres website in the USA in exactly the size I needed (235/70/17). On the web are many testimonies on the excellent performance of these tyres on and off-road.

Discovery 3 35 Inch Tyres Trailer Tires
I contacted Dunlop SA and was assisted by Gerhard Pondard who immediately agreed to import these tyres with his next order. The tyres arrives after six weeks and was fitted by Rob’s Tyres in Centurion within a week after it’s arrival in Durban.
The set of tyres looks great on the Discovery 3 and I can not detect a difference in the on-road drive or an increase in road noise. I now have the confidence to go off-road and visit the remote places in our beautiful country and it’s neighbours with a trip to the Serengeti in the future.
The tyres are available from Dunlop Dealers in South Africa at about R1900 each. They brought in about 60 tyres to start with if I am correct
