Vehicle model
Land Rover Discovery
Launched in 1989, the Discovery is Land Rover's versatile family SUV, positioned between the utilitarian Defender and the luxury Range Rover. Over five generations, it has evolved into a large seven-seat SUV that is comfortable, off-road capable and built for long distances. The more compact Discovery Sport rounds out the lineup in the mid-size premium SUV segment. It is aimed at families seeking space, versatility and off-road ability. In Quebec, its roominess and all-wheel drive are well suited to winter conditions; a set of winter tires mounted on wheels suited to the 5x120 bolt pattern markedly improves safety and grip on snow-covered roads.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Land Rover récents montent généralement de grandes jantes, le plus souvent de 18 à 22 pouces selon le modèle et la finition, avec des pneus à profil bas sur les versions luxueuses. L'entraxe (bolt pattern) courant des modèles modernes est 5x120, avec alésage central d'environ 72,6 mm. Au Québec, les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires et essentiels pour ces SUV lourds : il est fréquent de monter un ensemble hiver d'un diamètre de jante inférieur à celui d'origine, avec un flanc plus haut, pour gagner en confort, en motricité et en protection de la jante contre les nids-de-poule. Vérifiez toujours la dimension exacte inscrite sur le pneu d'origine.
