Just upgraded my 2016 Range Rover Base model from 19 inch wheels to 20x9 inch wheels, but upon driving the vehicle, it feels like it sways slightly from side to side.

Are there specific tires required for this Range Rover model ?

Does anyone know if a specific Tire brand is required with stronger sidewalls ?

It's not about the brand but the vehicle absolutely has requirements for the load rating. These numbers are shown on the pillar in the drivers door opening.

Specific minimum size is also imperative. 20x9 wheel probably uses a 275/45x20. I had that size on some 2007 RRSport SC "stormer" wheels but the newest RR could be slightly larger.

This may be listed in your manual too......

The 2016 RR's utilize a 255/55-20 or 31" diameter - not a lot of choices in that size; albeit, many have gone up an inch to 275/55 - 20. That is the OE Tahoe\Pimpcalade\Yukon\Denali\Sierra size, so there are a bazillion options.

This is what Tirerack had for the OE size:

I just remembered that mine were 20x9.5", hence the wider size.

Isn't it sad Land Rover does this to people? It's beyond stupid for such a capable vehicle to be so handicapped by the tires and wheels.
