Sand, Rubber and Disco 1
I don’t have 1st hand knowledge of this (G Wagen owner here) and I know this is a popular fitment on Discoveries. The only word of caution I would throw in is that you are going to alter the gearing by fitting those tyres.
Unless you go the whole hog and alter diff ratio’s or maybe transfer box ratio’s you will certainly feel the power sapping effect. Last thing you want on long uphill road sections or indeed in soft sand. I think for every 1 inch increase you loose something like 10% power/torque. I’ve got slightly oversize tyres and I got away with but it has affected low ratio adversely (low 1st being a little too long now for delicate work).
I have seen standard Discoveries struggle with this setup, but that could have been due to them being 200tdi’s or tired 300tdi’s.
I’m a big fan of keeping things standard, just MHO
