Size up or down for winter tires??
#11
In the same boat as you, although I am worse off in the 255/65/19 OEM wheels and tires. The Land Rover user guide suggests the Continental TS 850 P SUVs in my wheel size, however, such a tire does not seem to exist state side. For 20" OEM wheels, the same guide recommends the Pirelli Scorpion in the 255/60/20, however, it also recommends the Nokian Hakkapelliitta R3 SUV in 275/55/20. As long as you have OEM wheels, should be good to go with 275/55/20. This is what I am likely to do after securing some 20" wheels. Good luck!
It depends. Narrow will work better in deep snow, cutting through the snow to where there is traction. Wider will work better on ice. I just ordered 275 Conti Viking Contact 7s for Colorado ski trips. Couldn't find a good source for Hakas locally, though I've run Nokians with good results in the past.
