winch or tyres????
denviks:
cheers guys for all the advice so far :wink: you have been a massive help. i am now just looking at tyres. i have been offered a good deal on a set of insa turbo tyres. they seem to look pretty good on paper. i know they are remoulds but i am on a bit of a budget. if i went out and bought say bfg mt's and i ripped a side wall i would have to take my disco off the road until money was better so hense the need for cheaper options. :wink: i am looking at the trekers here

they look pretty good to me....what do you think.? the saharas are slightly cheaper but dont have side lugs.......
its never easy huh :lol:

Do you mean the Dakars? Similar in pattern to the BFG or Colway MT etc.
The Sahara is another variation on the Macho/Amazon/Geolander MT theme.
I'm definitely with Eeyore on this one. If this is going to be your main set of tyres on a daily driven car, then I would encourage you to look at stretching to a first life tyre of some sort.
I don't have any problems, per se, with remoulds. They are often very good value for money, and I use them alot off road. But on a road car, you may find them a bit of a false economy. BFG's like Eeyores regularly see very high mileages and remoulds wear much quicker.
I have no experience of Insa Turbos to quote, but remoulds do vary in quality - even from the same manufacturer!

cheers mate.....ithats why im thinking on a second set of wheels and keeping my at's on them for daily drive. :wink: might be my safest option :wink:

But if you get a second set for playing then you might as well go with the most aggresive road legal pattern you can get...
I had a similar tyre dilemma for my 90, and i plumped for BFG MT's on permenantly, i do 20K road miles every year in my defender and use it at least every other weekend off road, green laning and playing. The BFG's are fab, didnt cost much more than a set of insa turbo's (25% off @ quickfit and ATS) and are by all accounts better tyres as they last better both on and off road :)

i'm currently running bronco goodrides as these are what were on the truck when i bought it however i'll have this problem when i re-tyre as its a daily driver i do 50 miles a day so i'm going to have to compromise road quality with tread pattern and longevity.
