The day has finally come for me to get a new set of tires put on my Land Rover. And with the newly fixed rims I can't wait to show you how great it turned out.

After looking for a long time I finally made the choice on brand, type and size of tires. The Discovery 3 is a bit tricky when it comes to tire size and the rule in Norway doesn't help either.
Check out the video and see what I finally ended up with.

What do you think? 🤔Did I make the right choice? 😅

@AndrewKNI Год назад

An impressive job Simon. The wheel and tyres look superb. You were like a kid on Christmas day 🙂 I hope to be getting new Pirelli tyres for my Tucson this week. Can't wait to see the improvement. Happy motoring 🙂

@LandRoverDrive Год назад

Thank you Andrew! 😊 I'm happy with the result and I guess new tires day is like Christmas for us car guys. 😂. I hope you will be as happy with your new tires! Always a bit of excitement around it, if it will be as good as you think. 🤔 Best wishes!

Looks amazing! Very nice combo with the black wheels and those tyres! Can't wait to see the offroad video!

@LandRoverDrive Год назад

Thank you buddy! I didn’t go with your favorite but I think this is going to be a nice combo. Off-road video is on the timetable so it’s coming. 👍😊 That trip was so much fun and the first time in a long time that I did son proper off-road in the Disco. 🤙

@Skagitrover Год назад

Great looking tires! The combination with the wheels has really upgraded the look of your truck. Bob & Jill

@LandRoverDrive Год назад

Thank you Bob and Jill. 😊 The look had a bit of the reason for why I went for 265 wide, I was afraid of them being to skinny and not look the part. So really happy with that. They add a bit to the fuel usage due to the size and weight but will just have to live with that. 👍

@Skagitrover Год назад

@@LandRoverDrive Hi Simon, We 265/65-18 Falken Wildpeak AT3W with 30mm spacers on ours, we also lost some fuel efficiency but it is worth it.

@LandRoverDrive Год назад

@@Skagitrover 265/65R18 is a great look and on spacers I can only image. Ørjan ran on that with BFG AT and was really happy with the setup. But it’s actually a size over what’s legal in Norway. In Norway tires have to be within +- 5% of the original size. 😊

@craigbutler623 Год назад

New tires look great! I put a set of skinny Nokian outpost on my discovery 1, they are pretty sweet too, but not as aggressive as your new ones. They look like they will kick ass!! Great video as always

@LandRoverDrive Год назад

Thank you so much Craig! I really like the Outpost and was considering them when I got these. I figured that if I were to go a bit on the MT side the time was now. If we are going on a longer trip down into Europe I will consider buying a set of the outpost in 245/75R17. I think that would be a great fit the disco. I have 245/70R17 on my winter tires and it's the best driving tires I have driven on. 👌 I would also love to have a nice D1. 😅

Hi Simon at long last you get your new tyres fitted. You looked like a boy on Christmas morning....so excited 😁 the Cooper tyres are excellent and look fantastic. You will be able to have a lot of fun with those on. Good to see the tyre fiter rotate the tyre to get a better weight balance. I always use stick on weights but they can drop off over time, nice to get the 4 wheel alignment done too 👍😁

@LandRoverDrive Год назад

Thanks Simon! It as been a long time coming and probably the best Christmas gift any 4x4 owner could get. 😂 So far the Coppers have been great and I'm trying to rotate them every 5000 km to get the same life out of them as the GG AT2's. I'm running pretty high pressure so hope that will help as well and so far it looks good. I did it all at once to save money and to get it set up correct right away. 😊 We will see if they will outlast your BFG's

@Jacob-sw9td Год назад

@@LandRoverDrive It's bad to run high tire pressure as the tires will wear uneven and you will compromise your safety.

Hey Jerry and thank you! 😊 I have considered it many times but they cost a bit and I have seen a couple of guys having rust issues with them. Probably different manufacturers but I haven't found that the cost is worth it. 😅 But for sure I would have loved to had them all black. 👌

@Peter-xtreme Год назад

Hi Simon - Good choice with the Coopers, I've been running them for years and have been very happy with them, you won't be disappointed.

@LandRoverDrive Год назад

Thanks Peter! Always great to get feedback from people who has first hand experiences with the things you buy. I hope they will be good for at least 4-5 seasons, then I will be happy. So far they have been good. It seemed like the perfect fit so I hope I wasn’t wrong. 😅

@Paul-45-70 Год назад

I’ve had 3 sets of Coopers over the years and they have always worn well and I have gotten over 100k km on them but my biggest fault with them is I found they got a bit slippery in the wet after around 80k km. I have a D4 and I’m in the process of getting a set of 18” wheels which will open up my choice of tyres.

@Peter-xtreme Год назад

@@Paul-45-70 Yes I agree with that, around 80000kms they do start to slip a bit in the wet, nothing dramatic, they're just letting you know it's time for new tyres

@LandRoverDrive Год назад

@@Paul-45-70 Thanks Paul for sharing that great insight, I will keep an eye on that and maybe do some wet tests. I can see the "lugs" being a bit polished already so will definitely keep on eye on it. Did you rotate the wheels? I am trying to rotate them every 5000km. If I get 100k km out of them I will be super happy.

@Paul-45-70 Год назад

@@LandRoverDrive , Yes I rotate my wheels every 10k km including the spare. They are a very good tough tyre about the only fault for me off-road is on sand ( I’m Australian)as the sidewalls don’t really have much flex when I deflate but they are perfect for every other situation.

@jdenmark1287 Год назад

Hate to break the news, but Cooper Tires own General tires. Nice treads though 🤙🏻

@LandRoverDrive Год назад

Hahaha, I did not know that. 😊 But brand does not really matter to me. Super happy with the GG AT2, would have gone for AT3 if they had a proper load rating like the cooper has. 👍 And I didn't want to go full MT as I don't really see the need for it in Europe.

@jdenmark1287 Год назад

@@LandRoverDrive MTs are a bit overvalued as they don’t serve much purpose except for mud clearing, reducing hydroplaning and looking cool 😎. But the new all terrain tires are fantastic for most conditions especially if you get ones that will take studs for winter.

@LandRoverDrive Год назад

@@jdenmark1287 Yeha, AT or even lighter all year tires, like the Nokian Outpost, is more than tough enough for most people overlanding. Will see if I will go the outpost way later but for now I’m really happy! 😊 And use separate winter studded so I’m set now. 😊

Hi Simon, good job with Your rims. Now LR looks much better! You mentioned about some Land Rover meet up. Where can I find any info and details about this event? I would like to come with my Disco II 🙂 mvh Kris

Hey Kris and thank you so much! I love how it turned out. You can find meetups in norway on the www.nlrk.no/ site. There is an activities calendar there. The palace we go is at , in Snertingdalen/elvedalen offroad area, next to Gjøvik city. They have usually a spring and fall meetup and one during Christmas. 👍 Hope that helps. Best, Simon.

@@LandRoverDrive Hei Simon, thank You it's helpful. I have one more question about offroad roads. Is here in Norway some app/ website where I can find where can I go without any risk of breaking law? 🙂 I m not looking for an extream offroad but many roads are private and closed by "booms" Thank You

@LandRoverDrive 5 месяцев назад

@@tyroo196 I use the Norgeskart app, it is the one that is most updated on what is legal. It updates against the same database as the municipalities use, but they can be up to 6 month behind. In simple terms, all solid lines are drivable roads, red or grey, dotted lines are tractor or hiking trails and we are not allowed to drive on those. If the road has a sign that says privat road or there is a "bom", gate, then you are not allowed to drive there. :) Usually there are a lot of roads to drive on during summer but the closer you are to population the harder it gets to find drivable roads and roads that are not closed as private roads. :) Google maps have a tendency to show tractor roads as drivable roads. We use Google maps as a map reader/gps and then we use norgeskart as a check up when we are in doubt. :) Hope that helps. If you have many questions about going to Norway I would suggest becoming a Patreon @landroverdrive. 😉 Simon

@nilserich Год назад

Great job! Looks awsome Simon. What kind of tire pressure are you using on those for a road trip?

@LandRoverDrive Год назад

Hey and thank you! I'm running around 40psi all the way round but I'm still testing out pressures. In Norway there is a lot of tarmac roads so keeping the pressure high. Will drop it a bit if there is going to be a lot of gravel. So far I have an even wear patter and I'm rotating every 5000km. 😊 I have some small tendencies to trapping on the outer tread after the last trip but I'm going to see if the rotating the wheels will self correct that. If not I'm going to try and lower the pressure.

@tyroo196 5 месяцев назад

And question about Your feeling of driving on those tires after 7 month. Are You using them now during winter?

@LandRoverDrive 5 месяцев назад

I like the tires and they have been good so far. A bit of humming noise at 50km/h on a downhill slop with a slight turn, started after 5000km but it's very little and I don't notice it if I try to get them to hum. For longer trips I would go for a less aggressive tire to save on weight and fuel. Like if I were to drive down through Europe to Spain from Norway. For overlanding and a bit of off-roading I find them to be a good choice, and they look really nice on the Disco. 😊 I would not use them during winter, would not be safe. For winter off-road driving they would work great but on hard packed snow and ice they would be dangerous. Simon

@user-ud1sc5tp1u Год назад

265/70 r17 disk BMW E53 R17 👍

@LandRoverDrive Год назад

Good choice! 👌 I looked around for BMW rims but ended up using original due to the heavy weight. Only X5 rims that could handle the same weight as the original rims. At least from the rims I could find. 😊 265/70R17 would be fun but sadly not legal in Norway and I don't think you are able to keep rolling if the air suspension fails? 🤔

@@mfp4136 Hehe, Yeah, I don't worry to much about snow either, as I change over to my winter tires by the time it could snow. Got a little snow and ice test last weekend, on our early spring trip, and they held their own in the snow. If we had gotten ice on the tarmac we would be driving in 30km/h. 😂

@robertdrum6857 Год назад

I think the choice was right Simon👍🏻😎. Was there any change on road noise?

@LandRoverDrive Год назад

I think so too. There is a slight noice increase around 50-60km on new tarmac and I’m only rolling and slightly turning. A bit of a humming sound. So when everything else goes quiet there is a bit more sound from the tires. Not noticeable at higher speeds or the engine is revving. 👍😊

@vitalii_3 Месяц назад

Great video! I am trying to do the same for my LR4. As I see you used R17 discs, did they fit well with front breaks? I am thinking to buy such, but found in internet that they will not work with front breaks...

@LandRoverDrive 19 дней назад

Hey and tank you! 17" wont fit on the LR4, neither some 18", as the sport 18" rims, so you need to find some the at fit. Original rims for the lr4 or aftermarket ones, maybe the new Defender wheels.

@LandRoverDrive Год назад

Hey and thank you! I'm really happy with how it turned out. 265/265R18 fits nicely but I think they can rub slightly on turn. If you use a wheel calculator online you can see how the sizes compares.

If the tire is that much off balance, you're supposed to remove the tire from the wheel, turn it 180 degrees, mount and balance again. He took the easy way out by putting on bigger weights. The idea is to use the weight of the tire to balance and not extra artificial weighs mounted outside
