Oh dear.
That's equivalent to 255 50 19 by my calcs, so not a lot of hope for getting decent tyres onto that thing.Long succession of Disco's since 2001...

Look on the plus side, there is room for a decent aux battery in the engine bay. The crank battery is in the rear right quarter bit, just in front of the jack.

Knew there was something wrong with my calc!
So scratch my previous, it's actually equivalent to 255 60 19, or in other words 255 55 20, so same section as FFRR?
Which gives us GGAT or Duratrac at 20" Long succession of Disco's since 2001...
