Need advice on LR4 20 inch wheel tire options

[BlueOvalConvert]

For those with 20 inch rims, is there a tire that people recommend more than others for a person that does mostly highway and city driving.

I have done a few searches and was not able to find a definitive agreement/recommendation for such a tire. Apologies if this is redundant and otherwise covered somewhere else.

I just went through this. We went w the Nitto Terra Grapplers G2. It was about $1038 out the door for 4 with road hazard on each for 4 tires. The look pretty good for an AT, are surprisingly quiet on the road. I have a week long expedition through Oregon coming up soon and will get to test them off road. So far I'm very happy with them.

I put OEM 2015 Range Rover 20" wheels with OEM Goodyear Eagle 255/55/20 tires and like it. The wheels sit out about 1/4 further than the stock wheels and the truck sits about 3/4 inch higher with no rubbing. If you are interested I have a second set of these wheels/tires I can sell you so message me if you are interested to buy.

Thanks for the insight. El Solis, what size did you get in the Nitto Terra Grapplers G2?

Oclr4, thanks for the offer but I have the wheels and am just looking to replace tires.

 

[El Solis]

Pretty sure they are 265/50's but they may be 265/55's. I'll double check later

 

[El Solis]

The tires are 265/50. I have the green oval suspension rods but as it is my wife's DD and she doesn't want it lifted all the time we run stock heights and that is the largest tire I could get without worrying about rubbing.

Thanks, El Solis. I have a choice between the Pirelli Scorpions and the Nitto Grappler GT -- both 265/50. The price difference is $50/tire -- meaning the Pirellis are $50 less than the Nittos. I think I will go with the Pirellis.

 

[El Solis]

I had the pirelli's, they were really nice on the road. Never tried them in the wet/snow/dirt. As I needed/wanted something more aggressive while off roading

What about the 255/55/20 Goodyear Eagle or Michelin tires? These tires and sizes are used on the new RR and RRS vehicles. They are taller than the 265/50 tire but do not rub. They are around $350 - $400 per tire though...

Oclr4, are they twice as good to justify that price difference?
