jjsaul:
we were never fans of retreads till we got some

i wanted some BFG AT's but didnt have the money so we got some bronco grip edges instead. excellent tyre so far.

--- Quote from: "Bush Tucker Man" ---I've got a copy of a Defender catalogue (300Tdi) & it states maximum speed as 93 ('point' something) mph.
Doesn't say which model it is

Plenty of conflicting information about....

This robbed from James Taylor...

90 2.5 Petrol : 72mph
90 V8 (3.5)  :  85mph
90 2.5D  :  68mph
90 2.5TD :  75mph
90 Tdi : 85mph

110 2.5 Petrol : 70mph
110 V8   :  78/85mph depending on model
110 2.5D  :  62mph
110 2.5TD :  70mph
110 Tdi : 83mph



And grabbed from rangerovers.net :

RR Classic (US spec, so V8 lumps)

1987 - 1988 : 97mph
1989 - 1995 : 110mph




Make of that lot what you will !

Range Rover Blues:
We've had this discussion before and those who remember it will know how I feel about remoulds, I'm not their biggest fan.
Thing is they have their place, I run remoulded MTs based on cost/chance of damage but they are my 'play' tyres and I run new AT or road tyres at other times, I even had ATs on to get down to Whaddon this year and swapped on-site.

When cash allow I will be swapping to BFG or similar because, as has already been said, your tyres are the ONLY thing keeping you on the road, they are important and not something that should be economised on.

I've chatted at some length with other emebers and the general opinion is they are fine, if you drive the car accordingly.

Spooky:
Anyone know anything about 'Black Star' tyres? I know they're re-treads, and have a speed rating of 'N' (84 mph), but what about noise, tread life??
