Tramlining/Tram tracking

There seems to be slight info on Runninng a disco 3 with wide tyres.

I am fitting 20inch range rover rims with Cooper tyres 295*45*20 to my new Disco SE V6.
Is there any experience available on this tyre-car combination, please.
Will the car be subject to following the road camber ?

Yep (ish)

I had 295/45x20's General Grabbers (make sure your 20's are weight rated high enough for the D3, as RR tyres aren't)

As there more tread on the road than standard, it did tend to pull around a bit more, although it wasnt as bad as I've seen on other motors when going "wide". It was more of a "nervous" sort of feeling. You may also get some slight vibration through the steering (a feeling not disimilar to a wheel out of balance), as the D3 doesnt have a dampened steering rack (which an RRS does for running 20's). It seems the D3 rack is borderline for running 20's, as some are running fine, others (me included) have noticed a the vibe.

Vote for Global Warming - Cambridge on Sea sounds good to me, no more using the M5 to get to the seaside
