The 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 sits in the compact luxury SUV space with the all-weather, all-road character that made Land Rover appealing to drivers who wanted everyday usability without giving up utility. It blends modern crossover comfort with the brand’s traditional emphasis on confident road manners and versatile stance. For this exact LR2, tire selection starts with two primary radial fitments, 235/60R18 and 235/55R19, so the first step is confirming which wheel diameter is on the vehicle. Once that is settled, the decision shifts toward maintaining the intended look, preserving proper proportions, and choosing a tire that matches how the LR2 is actually driven.
Which Tire Size Is Right for The 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2
The 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 uses two primary tire sizes, and both are radial metric fitments tied to different wheel diameters. The key step is confirming whether the vehicle has 18-inch or 19-inch wheels, since both sizes appear across the LR2 range. Once the wheel diameter is verified, the real comparison becomes tire specifications, brand options, and how the tire suits the vehicle’s intended road use.
A 235/55R19 tire uses a 235-millimeter nominal section width, a 55-series aspect ratio, radial construction, and a 19-inch rim diameter. On the 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2, this is one of the two primary modern radial fitments and belongs on LR2s equipped with 19-inch wheels. The lower-profile side of the two sizes gives this fitment a more wheel-filled appearance while keeping overall dimensions close to the alternate size. Choosing this size starts with verifying the existing wheel diameter and then matching the tire to the vehicle’s actual wheel setup and intended driving use.
A 235/60R18 tire keeps the same 235-millimeter nominal section width but uses a 60-series profile on an 18-inch rim, with radial construction. For the 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2, this is the alternate primary fitment used on vehicles equipped with 18-inch wheels. Its overall proportions stay very close to the 19-inch option, but the wheel diameter is different, so it is not simply a matter of preference between the two sizes. This size should be selected only after confirming the LR2’s actual wheels and making sure no aftermarket changes have altered fitment requirements.
Tire fitment is straightforward across the covered 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 sub-models because each one can use the same two primary radial sizes. The important check is not trim level so much as the actual wheel diameter currently on the vehicle.

2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 Base
The 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 Base can use either of the two primary radial fitments, depending on whether it has 18-inch or 19-inch wheels. Tire selection comes down to confirming the wheel size on the vehicle first, then choosing a tire that matches its present setup and driving needs.
The 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 HSE shares the same tire-fitment pattern as the other covered LR2 sub-models, with both primary radial sizes applying by wheel diameter. That means the most important step is verifying the wheel already on the vehicle before comparing tire choices.
The 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 HSE Lux also uses the same two radial tire sizes found elsewhere in the LR2 lineup, with fitment determined by wheel diameter rather than a unique trim-only tire size. Confirming whether the vehicle carries 18-inch or 19-inch wheels keeps the selection process accurate.
The tire sizes listed on this page assume factory-standard vehicle configuration. The following modifications may affect tire fitment and are not reflected in this guide:
Suspension changes (lowering, lift kits, spring replacements)
Body alterations (fender modifications, custom bodywork)
If your vehicle has been modified from factory specifications, verify tire clearance before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Owners of a 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 usually need to sort out which of the two metric radial sizes belongs on the vehicle, how wheel diameter affects fitment, and what to inspect before putting the SUV back into regular road use.
Tire Size & Fitment
What tire size fits a 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2?
The 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 uses two primary tire sizes: 235/60R18 and 235/55R19. Both are radial metric fitments, and both appear across the LR2 range, so the correct choice depends on the wheel diameter installed on the vehicle rather than on a unique tire construction change.
The practical step is to confirm whether the LR2 has 18-inch or 19-inch wheels before selecting tires. The two sizes have similar overall proportions, but they are built for different rim diameters, so the decision starts with the wheel itself and then moves to brand, tire category, and everyday driving priorities.
What size rim does a 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 use?
A 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 uses either an 18-inch or 19-inch rim, depending on which of its two primary tire sizes is on the vehicle. The 235/60R18 size matches an 18-inch rim, while the 235/55R19 size matches a 19-inch rim.
Wheel diameter matters more than trim name here because every covered LR2 sub-model can use both tire sizes in the right wheel configuration. Checking the sidewall code on the current tire and confirming the actual wheel size on the vehicle helps prevent ordering the right width and profile in the wrong rim diameter.
Do all 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 sub-models use the same tire size?
The 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 Base, HSE, and HSE Lux all share the same two primary tire sizes: 235/60R18 and 235/55R19. That means fitment is consistent across the covered sub-models, with the real difference being whether the vehicle has 18-inch or 19-inch wheels.
This makes trim level less important than verifying the actual wheel setup on the SUV in front of you. An LR2 may still have its original wheel diameter, but wheel changes over time are common, so checking the current tires and wheels is the safest way to narrow the correct fitment before comparing replacement options.
Choosing the Right Tire
What should I consider when choosing a tire for a 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2?
Start with the correct primary size for the wheel on the vehicle: 235/60R18 for an 18-inch rim or 235/55R19 for a 19-inch rim. Both are modern metric radial sizes, so the main selection factors become correct fitment, intended use, and choosing a tire that suits how the LR2 is driven.
A practical comparison should include wheel diameter first, then the tire’s overall category, load suitability, and whether the vehicle is used mainly for commuting, highway miles, or occasional rough-weather driving. It also helps to inspect whether the LR2 still has its original wheel setup, since aftermarket wheels can change fitment priorities.
How do I choose between 235/55R19 and 235/60R18 tires for a 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2?
The choice between 235/55R19 and 235/60R18 is not simply a preference between two interchangeable sizes. Each one belongs to a different rim diameter, so the correct selection depends on whether the 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 is equipped with 19-inch wheels or 18-inch wheels.
Once the wheel diameter is confirmed, compare tires within that size rather than across both sizes. The two fitments are close in overall dimensions, but they are still meant for different wheels, so the better buying decision comes from matching the wheel first and then evaluating tire type, road use, and condition of the rest of the setup.
Why does the 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 have more than one tire size?
The 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 has more than one tire size because it was fitted with different wheel diameters. The two primary sizes, 235/60R18 and 235/55R19, keep the vehicle in a similar overall dimensional range while pairing correctly with either an 18-inch or 19-inch rim.
For the owner, that means the first fitment question is always about the wheels currently on the vehicle. Two LR2s with the same trim can still need different tires if one has 18-inch wheels and the other has 19-inch wheels, especially if wheels have been changed since new.
Restoration & Appearance
Does correct tire fitment matter for a 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 restoration?
Correct tire fitment still matters on a 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2, even though it is a more modern SUV than a traditional antique or muscle car. Staying with the proper 235/60R18 or 235/55R19 size for the wheel diameter helps preserve the LR2’s intended stance, wheel-to-tire proportion, and everyday drivability.
A restoration-minded owner should begin by confirming which wheels belong on the vehicle being preserved, then matching the tire size to that setup. If visual authenticity matters, photos, original sales literature, and marque-specific references can help confirm whether the LR2 should present on 18-inch or 19-inch wheels.
How does tire size affect the appearance of a 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2?
Tire size affects the visual balance of a 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 because 235/60R18 and 235/55R19 place the sidewall and wheel differently within the same overall package. Even with similar overall tire height, the 19-inch setup shows more wheel, while the 18-inch setup carries a slightly taller sidewall presentation.
That difference can matter if the goal is to keep the SUV looking true to its intended configuration rather than simply replacing worn tires. Matching the size to the wheel already on the vehicle helps maintain the proper proportion, and it avoids the mismatched look that can come from forcing the wrong tire onto the wrong rim diameter.
Fitment, Maintenance & Road Use
Can modifications affect tire fitment on a 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2?
Yes, modifications can affect tire fitment on a 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2. Aftermarket wheels, changes in wheel width or offset, suspension alterations, and ride-height changes can all influence how a 235/60R18 or 235/55R19 tire sits in the wheel opening and how much clearance it has in use.
That is why the current setup should be checked before replacing tires, especially on a used LR2 with an unknown history. Wheel diameter remains the first checkpoint, but steering clearance, suspension condition, and any evidence of rubbing should also be reviewed so the new tires suit the vehicle as it exists now.
What should I inspect before driving a 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 on new tires?
Before driving a 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 on new tires, inspect the wheels for the correct 18-inch or 19-inch diameter, check that the new tire size matches that wheel, and look over the wheel condition itself. It also makes sense to verify that the tires are properly seated, inflated, and free from shipping or mounting damage.
A broader walk-around should include suspension condition, visible alignment issues, brake clearance, and any sign that the previous tires rubbed under turning or compression. Taking a few minutes to confirm those basics helps the LR2 return to road use with predictable manners and reduces the chance of discovering a fitment problem after installation.
How often should tires on a 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 be inspected?
Tires on a 2013 Land Rover Trucks LR2 should be inspected regularly, with a quick visual check before routine driving and a closer inspection at normal service intervals. Even on a modern SUV, it is smart to watch for uneven wear, cuts, bulges, cracking, low pressure, and any sign that one tire is aging differently from the others.
That inspection becomes even more important if the LR2 is driven infrequently or stored for long periods. Air loss, flat spotting, and age-related deterioration can develop quietly, so checking tread condition, sidewalls, and pressure on a schedule is one of the simplest ways to protect both fitment quality and everyday road manners.
