Best all round wheel/tyre combo

Just bought a D3 with lovely 20 inch Range Rover alloys and tyres. Looking to get something less flash - ideally black/grey alloys with tyres that that will be quiet and efficient on road but also ok for light off roading/camping.

Should I go for 17inch or 18 inch wheels?
BFG AT
Copper
other brands/sizes????

Advice very welcome.

My personal choice is BFG only on 18” though and looking myself, but they listed as summer tyres?? Discovery 3 HSE 07

Best advice is a photo of yours, you never know your luck some one my do a swap. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Unless you want to plug through thick mud have a look at 18” Pirelli ATRs. Discerning combo. Now got 19” ATRs on the D4.

I could be interested in a swap of some sort. I have 18" as pictured above (just a bit cleaner). Which RR wheels do you have?

D3 wheels/tyres

Thx for replies.

Here are the ones on my D3 now. Really looking for similar style wheels 18 inch in black. Happy to take px just on the wheels and can get tyres separately.

Ahhh, your current wheels are black. I'll tap out I'm afraid as only interested in silver/diamond turned. Also my current are silver.

Slider, I might be interested if the OP isn't. Not for a swap though and depends what you want.

I have been keeping my eyes out for 19s in black but these would do. 2006 Java Black Metropolis - my first dip into the D3 world!
