Just make sure they are properly 'E' marked too... else they won't be legal

E Marked?
They are made by Greenway and advertised as 90/10 so i think a phone call may be in order. Where is the E mark and what does it look like?
Jim-Willy:
Just checked and they are Emarked and speed rated to 81/87 which is faster than my 90 ever goes so the decision is made. Ta for your help (We really do need a salute smiley) :)

That might not be the deciding factor... The Speed Rating is for whatever speed landrover declared your motor can do, not what speed you think it's sane to drive at..
It's probably worth checking what the speed rating for the vehicles is (yes it is dependant on engine)
drmike:
This speed rating thing is a bit of a game isn't it?
Having a B reg 90 which was probably a diesel originally I assume it's that top speed I use for speed rating not a guessed one for its current 200 TDI?
I have asked insurance vehicle inspectors if they take a good look at tyres when claims are made and they said in principle yes and if it was obvious the tyres were extreme or damaged they might look further but they said it was probably more likely in general they'd not take a great interest. As for the police I have no idea.
Then again I propsoe to get correctly speed rated tyres which ruling a lot of diamonds out.
