Tyre size question

More of a concern to me would be the fact that the dealership have supplied and fitted tyres not approved by JLR.
I agree. The tyres should be a 255 50 20. I would go back to whoever stated the incorrect size and get that dealer to swap them for the correct size. As previously stated, this “wrong size” is classed as modifying and your insurer needs to know, plus, again, as stated, it puts your speedo out because of the rolling circumference.

Well I have some good news.

I visited my dealer yesterday and explained the situation. After a quick consultation with the sales manager, they have agreed to replace the tyres with the correct sized tyres at no cost to me. The new tyres are on order and they will let me know when to come in to have them fitted.

I was a bit surprised they did not put up an objection, as I had bought the tyres myself and the dealer only fitted them for me. It seems the fact that the sales rep had advised me of the wrong tyre size and that they did not notice the tyres I gave them were wrong, meant they had to accept responsibility.

So I'm pretty pleased all things considered.

Brilliant news. Not all dealers are bad

I got my new tyres fitted yesterday. It may be my imagination, but the ride seems quieter and smoother.

Kudos to Park's Jaguar Land Rover in Inverness for being so helpful in sorting this problem out.
The quieter aspect could be a change in brand, but there are only 4db difference really between best and worst on the market

The new tyres are the same brand and type as the old ones. Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Seasons.

The only difference is the side wall size. The old ones we're 255/55R20. The new ones are 255/50R20.
The main thing is you are now on the right size and it was done by the dealer. So it’s a win win all round.
