Lol. Of course Land Rover will make that the stock tire size. Tirerack lists exactly zero tires in that size.
Yeah, just plain ridiculous. Its like as if they are intentionally trying to make it difficult for the potential owners, or is it that like other things, this decision is also to appease the lazy dealerships so they can make a buck by owners being forced to come to them for their overpriced tire replacements due to lack of options out there.
It would be one thing if LR chose a specific and rare tire size for engineering reasons and/or if they would work with a manufacturer to design a quality OEM tire(s) with specific specs suited for LR vehicles (TerrainContact would have been an example with less aggressive look for being a comfortable on/offroad OEM tire and for broader appeal), but this lazy bunch has no real reasoning here for such rare size that would benefit their products or their customers.
If this crew can go as far as slapping the **** below-contact-grade, rough riding, contis that came stock on LR4, literally destroying the entire ride quality of the vehicle (coupled with its firmer suspension setup), they are capable of doing anything. I am done being surprised by them.
I mean, its like, did anyone even bother doing a single test drive on LR4 with the chosen stock contis after the bean counters upstairs determined those to be destined for NA market as they deemed those to be the most profit making rubber/vendor option?
