I don't understand the "buy some 19" wheels" option...
I still don't get why LR went with the 19" wheels as the one to get Goodyear MTR's made for - with less ability to reduce pressures etc - it just doesn't make sense.
In Oz - most people seem to be now getting after-market 17" steel or alloys and fitting their off-road tyres to them...
I'm hoping to go with a robust LT construction AT-type tyre in the 18" at some stage, but would not do the 19" MTR option!
cheers - my opinion only...

Totally simon, it doesn't seem to make much sense.
I love the beefy look of the grabbers (and lot of MT's but they just aren't practical for me personally), AT's get the job done offroad along with keeping the ride good on pavement.I'm not so good at giving advice...may I offer you a sarcastic comment instead?

I certainly hope any 18" AT rated tyres are available (and not just Grabbers) when I get to change mine 2 years time.'06 Disco 3 TDV6 SE Buckingham Blue

I emailed 4site4x4 to see if they knew when the tyres would be available...
Their reply.....
Production is due to commence at the end of February. Stock should arrive in to the U.K by mid to end of March.
I am also waiting for the Grabbers, but don't know when they will find their way down to Africa. See our thread on another great tire - the BF Goodrich 265/65X18 A/T KO
Likewise - needed badly in Aaaaafrica !!!
Never be afraid to try something new ...

I stopt waiting a while ago, when Germany told me they where not even in production.
So I bought 17"-ers and good-old BF-GoodrichesIn a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin. www.m-release.com
