Hello fellow LR3 members,

What oversized 19" tires have you run without much modifications to allow for greater tire selection vs the stock sizing for the 19" rims?

Thank you for your time and help

 

...most of us found 18s that we could mount larger and/or more suitable tires on.

I go with 275/65R18 Cooler Discoverer STT PRO

and 255/55R19 Nokian Hakkapeliitta winter tires

 

Thanks for the heads up.

I wasn't sure if larger tires on the 19" rims were possible. With my Disco 1 i went with 245/75r16 over the original stock size, and that is why I thought I'd ask in case I missed a thread somewhere with larger tires on the 19" rims.

I am currently using the Nokian All-Weather WR G2, and have been a Nokian user since 2000 on various vehicles i have owned over the years.

Love the tires as they perform amazing in my neck of the woods

I will then look for Land Rover 18" 10 spoke wheels for better options.

Thanks for your time and help!

 

For what it is worth...my experience.

I had 19" wheels. Bought some Continental Terrain Contact in stock size and were silent on the road (quietest tire I've ever owned) but they were not LT and on a couple of trails in Colorado there was some significant chunks out the side. I know there is a Light Truck (LT) ply in some sizes but I don't know which.

In the end I bought 18" wheels and fitted Cooper Discoverer AT3 (265/60/18) and these are excellent for what we use them for (dry and rocky desert type trails and up through Colorado to WY and MT etc). I live in Texas so we don't have snow or ice and I don't go 'mudding'. I have however, driven through a few creek crossings with kinda slippery exits etc., and have had zero worries. They are LT ply so no chunks missing yet.
