They'll tell you 'marketing', that the public is so universally into bling that it will suffer terrible ride quality, tramlining, crashing over speed humps, burst tyres, wheels damaged by potholes, short tyre life and expensive replacement cost, all just to look like a footballer’s wife or a rapper. There is, of course, another reason. If you buy a car on wide, low profile tyres, you will have to replace them, frequently and expensively.

Range Rovers, Range Rover Sports and Land Rover Discovery IVs are all best on 19-inch Pirelli Scorpion ATRs or STRs, so if yours is on 20-inch or bigger you will need a new set of wheels.
