| 20" Discovery 4 Alloys & Tyres WTD and some advice |
|
Looking to puchase some 20". If anyone has any give me a pm.
Are tyres which are 255 50 20 (109) Y fit for the Disco 4. I am sure when I had my Disco 3 the 109 were not as they came off a RRS. Am I getting confused....  Disco 4 "10" HSE
Audi A6 S line Auto
Mercedes W463 G Wagon 300 GES
Jaguar XF 3.0d Portfolio.....gone
D3 V8 Black SE Auto --- LPG (300 BHP)---gone 
911 "964" Celebration Guards Red "the only UK one"

Hi
Yes you are right, 109y is correct on 255 50 r20 and is rated for the D4 and 111 for D3.

The 109 bit means the tyres aren't up to the minimum weight spec for the D3. Some peeps think this will cause insurance issues, others don't worry about it. There is no definitive answer to your question, only opinions.

In practical terms, the difference is load rating is 20kgs a tyre. It's like having an additional adult on board!

That's practical terms, insurance company might argue differently as whilst your only just under the spec, you're under the spec. Two sides to every coin.

True, I informed my insurance company, who were happy enough and charged me nothing to change. It's a paradox where a D3 with a couple of passengers can weigh less than a D4 packed to the gunnels, yet gets away with 109s.
