    Tyres

    Thinking about getting new tyres for my Puma. Generally don't like the look of the extremely off-road biased tyres people put on their defenders as its more often than not a tad bit overkill. I'm looking for a more road based rubber with the highest possible sidewall, I ride on country roads...

    Wheel and tyre sizes

    Hi. I have a freelander 2 (2011) it currently has 245/65/r17 tyres on it. I want to get some winter tyres and spare wheels as I am going to Europe. Winter tyres in a smaller size are about £50 less per tyre, so I was wondering if I could put 16” wheels on it with 215/75/r16 tyres on it without...

    Michelin Latitude Cross 235/85 vs 7.50/r16

    Does anyone have a photo or two of the Michelin Latitude Cross tyre in 235/85r16 on their defender? It's more common in 7.50/r16 on a Defender of course, but the wider 235 is £25 a tyre cheaper. I'm putting them on wolf rim so the extra width is not a problem, just curious as to what they...

    Correct Tyre Sizes - Disco4 HSE

    Hello - I bought a 2010 Disco4 HSE which as all 4 tyres sized at 275/45R20 I recently took the car into Land Rover for some other work and they told me that all 4 tyres were incorrectly sized and needed to be changed. I haven't done this as it's a sizeable cost to do all 4 particularly when...

    255/85 tyres other than mud terrain type

    Sorry if this has been covered sometime recently, the forum won't let me search by numbers like "255"? Anyone come across 255/85R16 size tyres that are not mud terrain types? i.e. all terrains or similar? I was hoping to go to this size but I don't want full-on mud tyres. Can't seem to find...

Toyo Open Country AT's, to be honest I was a bit sceptical when they went on (2005!!) but they've stood the test of time and taken everything I've thrown...

    (Fairly) urgent tyre query

    7.50R16 on Defender allows?

    The General Grabbers fitted to our 2003 TD5 Defender are well past their "best before" date. I have been offered a possible set of Michelin 7.50R16 tyres. Dumb question, but will these go on the standard Defender alloys OK? Anything I should be aware of? I kind of like the look of those...
