Have a look at the tyre calculator via the link I have put below, you will probably have to go for a 265 65 17 in the AT2 as they do not do a 235 70 17. You may also want to look at the Vredestein Wintrac Extreme tyres at Camskill.co.uk (cheapest price), although they are a winter tyre and one of the best performers on ice and snow they are hard wearing and a great all year round tyre.
Thanks, I have pm'd you ... (I think! It says sent to one recipient, but it is staying in the 'outbox' - I would expect it to reside in 'sent' items if sent, surely?)
£7.50 a wheel! what are you on? These guys on here are more than sharp, is that where you learnt the killer skills?
Only joking, pm sent back to you with further info. Cheers,

rabbit leader I had the same issues as you with regards to sizes and load rating when i brought my original D3 from Barretts in Ashford. I did not know there was a problem until I tried towing the tin tent then had majr issues with stability. Went back all aclm initially but when they said go away I let rip with both barrels. Pointed out that my insurance was invalid, they had put my family and other road users at risk. I also told them i would call in trading standards and LR customer services, they backed down and put 4 new correct boots on and then tried to get me to pay for the rubber I had used between buying the car and noticing the issue, told them to go away and that trading standards had been informed. MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange
MY15 D4 HSE Kaikoura Stone

I can't believe it! I have exchanged a few messages with Rabbit and it unbelievably seems my wife may have got off with him on a holiday in the South of France when younger, would you even contemplate selling your spare wheel rims to a possible ex lover of your wife?

Well done!

A very silly thing for these dealers to do - you'll probably never use them again, unless it suits ... If they had just realised that they were probably gonna have to pay for the tyres anyway, and use it as a sales angle to you "No problem Sir, we'll get those ordered ..."
You'd probably be typing "Very happy with the service received from particular dealer, have just ordered a new D4 from them ..."
Crazy buisness decision ....
