What size have you got DSL ...they don't look like Disco 19's  21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

255/55R19s on 19" FFRR rims. They fit the D3 perfectly (8 x 19" wheels) as they are 2006 rims, earlier ones don't fit (i've been reliably informed!)

Got them from Nene 4x4, as these are the bottom of the RR food chain (wheels wise) so easily available with RR types upgrading wheels. They were not too expensive with new rubber, £216 incl wheel each for 5, tyres on blackcircles.com alone were £225ish (from memory).

I find this rather worrying as there must be some level of reduced traction from reduced rolling resistance. Less noise perhaps..... until you slide off the road into a tree 
Time for a PHD to come in here I think - DSL, whats the physics on this....

If you are having difficulty sleeping, print off and read the whole report. It goes into grip and traction IIRC...

My theory of the cosmos stands up to this. As they say in Yorkshire, "You don't get nought for nought!"
Beside, I'm a geochemist (of sorts), what would I know about physics, or chemistry for that matter! OK, I'm just another rock hitting, mud slapping geologist that pretends he knows what he's doing!
