Would anyone know if there's a huge issue with going from the standard size 255/50/19's up to a 255/55/19 for normal use ? I know the MTR's they used on the event were 55 profile but I'm after a new set of tyres at the moment that can cope with light offroad use and because of the mpg impact, MTR's aren't an option for me, I also don't want to have 2 sets of wheels and tyres really.

AT tyre choice is limited for 19" wheels, but I've been offered a set of Pirelli ATR's for an almost unbelievable price from a tyre depot in Leicester and I'm thinking of going for them, albeit in 55 profile. It's either that or a set of Vredestein Wintrac's which can be had for £'s not a lot at the moment, the forum crowds on Disco3 seem to be raving about them as well. Looking at the tread, I reckon they'll probably cope offroad, they're very similar to the Continental pattern fitted to the experience RRS we drove at Eastnor.

All thoughts / comments appreciated
