Wow sergio...that should widen the track quite a bit. Might even make it flush with the body.

speaking of track and offset, does anyone have a photo looking down the side of an evoque from the rear, to get a sense of the amount of 'poke' it does or doesn't have??

OEM Tires

Standard tires will depend on the wheel size you select. The standard 19-inch wheels feature Continental CrossContact (All-Season, M+S) 235/55R19 tires. These tires have a 2039 pound load rating (105) and are V speed rated (149 mph). The estimated street price on the Continental tires is approximately $240.00 to $260.00. The optional 20-inch wheels feature Michelin Latitude Sport (Summer) 245/45R20 tires. These tires have a 1709 pound load rating (99) and are also V speed rated. The estimated street price on the Michelin tires is approximately $340.00 to $360.00.

Although I would like the Michellin tyres for the rim protection I do not want summer tyres on an Evoque!

I will be getting delivery of mine at the beginning of December and a car like the Evoque needs all season tyres especially at that time of year!

And my Dynamic is shod with 20" Continental CrossContacts for the UK market.

Tim, are the Continentals a summer tire? maybe LR are cognisant of the demands of uk winters (surprise surprise)

Just been out to look...............
On the sidewall it states Continental CrossContact 245/45R20 103V UHP-E as there is no M+S marking i assume (I will have a look on the Continental website) they are summer tyres

OK here is what the Continental Website says

Quote:The ultimate performance tyre for your 4x4

Designed for high performance 4x4/SUV vehicles, the bionic contour of the ContiCrossContact UHP tyre narrows the tyre when moving and widens when braking. This reduces the braking distance and ensures higher cornering stability. The tyre's asymmetrical profile and outer rigidity guarantees exceptional cornering and an exhilarating drive without compromising on safety. The circumferential drainage grooves provide excellent protection against aquaplaning.

The ContiCrossContact UHP is fitted as original equipment on numerous performance 4x4/SUV vehicles, such as Volvo XC90, Mercedes M-Class and BMW X5.

I note they are 100% onroad tyres too so I hope I'm not in for a BMW X3/5 winter experience, stuck for weeks on the drive because I have the wrong tyres! I'm off to the tyre shop to order up my snow and ice tyres this afternoon!

The 20" continentals were M+S marked as far as I remember?

1.5 cm outer and 1.5cm inner for a total 3cm tire width increase.

Not on my Dynamic Plus, I cannot see an M&S marking on any tyre. Might be something they only put on the Plus models

So even with the 4WD cars , will we need to put winter tyres on them ?

The only tyres I have seen on the Evoques so far non have M + S markings , the michelins just look like pilot sport pattern

Are all evoques just fitted with summer tyres ?
