Tires on Land Rover Discovery 2 (Ланд Ровер)

The Land Rover Discovery 2 was produced from 1998 to 2004 and became a continuation of the famous line of off-road models, aimed at combining extensive capabilities off-road and comfort when used as a family vehicle. Against the backdrop of numerous "classmates", this car immediately stood out with a characteristic "British off-road" chopped silhouette and a vertical stern, which provided a maximum of useful space.

Key Features

The SUV, which debuted in the fall of 1998, retained a frame structure and time-tested suspension elements of its predecessor, but at the same time received a more rigid body and a significantly modernized chassis. With independent front suspension on double wishbones and a rear beam on springs, the car remained extremely resilient off-road, while maintaining manageability on asphalt. To increase comfort in everyday use, the SUV was equipped with pneumatic suspension on the rear axle, which allowed adjusting the clearance from 185 to 225 mm.

Under the hood, proven power units were used: petrol V8s with a volume of 4.0 and 4.6 liters, as well as a 2.5 TD turbo diesel with an intercooler, known for its durability and sufficient traction for towing trailers, not to mention a fully loaded trunk. The transmission in most produced instances was a 4-speed "automatic" ZF, reliably working in combination with the all-wheel drive system and the interaxle clutch with increased friction. In addition, the transmission included self-locking differentials on both axles, which provided real control on complex sections, without requiring constant driver intervention.

In technical terms, the SUV also stood out with a wide range of electronic systems, along with equipment characteristic of premium-class sedans - ABS, EBD, and trajectory stabilization (ASC) systems, climate control with separate zones, and electric seat adjustment. Additionally, for an extra fee, the car was equipped with the "proprietary" Land Rover electronics package for off-road use: rear differential lock, reduction gear, and the Hill Descent Control system, which for the first time in the class allowed safe descent down steep slopes without extra effort from the driver.

The interior was distinguished by high-quality leather upholstery, wooden inserts on the front panel, and durable fabric elements in areas with high stress. The instrument panel was informative, with large analog indicators of oil pressure, temperature, and fuel level. For rear passengers, foldable third-row seats were provided, which allowed increasing the capacity to seven people.

Wheels and tires were designed for operation in any conditions: steel and alloy 16-18-inch disks were well combined with high-profile tires 235/70 R16 or 255/65 R18. They withstood regular off-road trips and maintained their shape under loads characteristic of family trips and cargo transportation.
