Search for four wheel alignment
Hunter kit is meant to be good.
Looking at approx 100 quid, if cheaper be wary.

Budget tyre that perhaps isn't suited to the vehicle?

Possibly, but only 6k miles since they were fitted , I’m thinking it’s a alignment issue as they have all worn the same

I would start with 4 wheel alignment in tight tolerence mode by someone using Hunter kit, as already suggested.

You can find your local Hunter users here:-

Yes, alignment check would be the first step.

What size are the tyres? They look to be very low sidewall, or is that just the angle of the photos?

If you are buying new tyres I'd consider less extreme wheels to allow a higher aspect ratio.

I wouldn't be surprised if the tyre size isn't part of / the whole issue.

RRSTDV8 - I agree Thumbs Up

Another thought - did LR ever sell D3s with 285/35/22 ? I rather think not.

monty1 - Do be aware that if this is the case your insurers should be advised, to avoid any future claim being refused on the grounds of non-standard wheels/tyres.

Thanks for the help and advice, the car now has 18inch wheels fitted and is much better to drive, I’ve got play in the rear upper arm Bush now, so I’ll get that replaced and the alignment check done 👍
