I've never had any wheel wear whatsoever in the last 10.5 years of Disco3/4 ownership.

I did 150k miles in my D3 HSE and used 1x set of 18" rims and 2x sets of 19" rims. The original 19" HSE rims as fitted, a set of used 18" SE rims and a set of used 19" FFRR rims.

I ran 19" Goodyear MTR's and Wrangler HP's, 19" Pirelli Scorpion Zero's and ATR's and 18" Pirelli Scorpion ATR's (my favourite combination).

Iirc, the wheel wear issue seemed to be mainly linked to General Grabber AT2 tyres.



I only found out about it today and its quite alarming ... I take your point about the grabbers but we removed worn out Michelin road tyres from the wheels I bought and there is wear for all to see.

I grant you not fatal wear but enough to make me stop and think hard as to whether I wanted to use them .... I'll post some pic's tomorrow.


Ah, but did those rims previously have GG's fitted?


I'll look on ebay for a crystal ball and come back to you ... Rolling with laughter

OK! ..... Computer kicked and I'm back.

As I said at the start of this thread I bought 4 No. 10 spoke 18" alloys .... with the tyres off I find this on two of the 4....

Not worn through by any means but enough for me to question their road worthiness.... I would value your views on my problem.
