Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

BFGoodrich All Terrain TA KO2 265-60-18 Land Rover Discovery 3 10,000 miles March 26, 2026
These are one of the default AT tires for a reason. I haven't used these off road extensively but they have seen a few rock covered trails and plenty of rough gravel roads with no issues. Mud traction is just OK but of course these aren't mud tires. Snow, slush, and even deep snow traction has been great, but grip on ice and hard packed snow is much less impressive and reminds you these aren't proper winter tires. This might be a compromise most AT tires make, but it's bad enough I wouldn't recommend these for someone who just wants all weather performance for a street driven truck/SUV. If you need a durable do anything on/off road tire, especially in warmer and drier climates, these would be a great option.

Continental Sport Contact 5 255-55-19 Land Rover Discovery 3 11,500 miles February 7, 2026
I found the tire a little noisy compared with the last brand, I was very disappointed with the wear on these tires, 11500 miles (18000 km) on exactly the same road surface as my last set of tires of which I had 26,000k the continental is not a cheap tire, it was recommended by Norauto in Lugo, Spain.
It is not a tire i would recommend after this use, I am a careful driver 70 years of age, the vehicle has never been off road and it is used as my daily commute i do not exceed speed limits.

Falken Wildpeak AT3W 255-60-18- Land Rover Discovery 3 10,000 miles September 25, 2024
We drive on all sorts of roads including gravel and use the Land Rover for day-to-day, some longer trips and a bit of towing (such as boat trailers); I like the feel and balance of the tire, with good comfort and low noise (even compared to earlier more road-biased tires), and our fuel consumption has not worsened. I was slightly concerned that an all-terrain would feel clumsy and loud, but there are no downsides, and hopefully these Falkens will last longer and will be tougher (more puncture proof). Lastly, I'd add that these were very cost effective compared to the competition.

Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus 255-60-18- Land Rover Discovery 3 32,000 miles September 10, 2024
I drive a Land Rover Discovery TDV6 and bought my 255/60/R18 112H XL Scorpion A/T + tires on 313,000km. I do off-road trips with my club although recently not so much and the tires worked great. They are quiet on the road and perform off-road remarkably well although in sand driving especially on high sand dunes, the tires are not really suited for that although the vehicle is heavy which may have something to do with that as well but otherwise, I could go wherever I wanted.
The downside is that after just 50,000km, the tires started delaminating causing a dangerous situation for myself and my family. I was advised to change them as I could have a blow out at any time. This was happening on three of my four tires and after phoning Pirelli, I was bascially told that unless I can produce records of my tire rotations, they would even entertain looking at the tires. I orginally bought Pirelli tires because I expected backup service and by not getting it, I simply took off the tires and trashed them although there was still good tread on them.
I have switched to Dunlop and what a difference, it feels like I am driving on silk now. Sorry Pirelli, but your service stinks, at least here in South Africa.

Just a fantastic all-rounder. Quiet on the motorway, grippy off road, great manners on road. And a bargain too.

General Grabber AT3 255-55-19- Land Rover Discovery 3 30,000 miles May 31, 2022
Ran AT on previous disco 2 and fitted these on Disco 3 when I changed. Great wear done 30k and fronts have about 5mm left rears about 8mm. Good grip until pushed hard then tend to understeer but what can you expect with a near 3ton discovery. Good in muddy grass never failed to be my caravan off a field and it's weighs 2 ton. Does hit the fuel consumption I loose 2-3mpg round town which is only down side the old AT on my disco 2 never made a difference but these are a little bit more aggressive. Will buy again when fronts get a bit lower

Dynamo HISCEND H MSU01 255-55-19- Land Rover Discovery 3 10 miles October 29, 2021
Really good tires for a very reasonable price. My wife’s new Sportage came with these tires and we were very happy with them so I decided to give them a go on my Discovery. A surprisingly reasonable price first of all was the first bonus. I find them really good in all weather conditions. They handle well at high speed and they seem to be wearing well after about 10,000 km. very happy to recommend them.

Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus 225-45-17- Land Rover Discovery 3 3,000 miles May 14, 2021
Haven't winter tested yet but took them over the main range and across Davies Plain. On road they are great. My previous tires where the Pirrelli Scorpion ATR and they were great but these are as good or better on-road which shocked me. Off road dry they are great. I haven't done much wet driving yet but will update.
