Tyres Question
ibruceuk:
Cheers, what are they like on road? Is there much noise and do they hold the road ok in the wet?

IBruce,
I've not had any problems... they do have a particular sound to them that takes me back to the eighties and my time in BAOR as was.
Not really had to drive them hard in the wet but I've noticed that when I drive through a puddle for fun (I know you do it too! :twisted: ) the car is not pulled as much as my RRC wearing colway all terrains.
Basically I drive sensibly and everything is fine.

Err, a bit noisey, especially when pulling up to the line. Grip is good, wear was acceptable, handling was passable. The worst thing about remoulds is you have no knowledge or control over what brand of tyre they are built onto, and you can't guarantee a matched set. Different brands of tyre work, well differently, so you have to take this into account. If it's worth getting MT then yes you can live with them, drive the car accordingly.
Personally I have a set ot AT for day to day use and taking the doags to the park, towing, gentle laning etc and the MTs which are oversized for a Range Rover that I keep for the mud now.
ChrisW:
This speed rating discussion pops up from time to time - ISTR that the legislation now is that if you fit tyres that are a lower rated speed than the vehicles maximum speed then you must not exceed the rating of the tyre :?:
(Official line that is - of course none of us exceed the speed limit for the road being driven do we :lol: )
Range Rover Blues:
Well given that non of us should be worried about doing 105mph anyway then you could argue that n rated tyres would be fine. AFAIK the car must be fitted with tyres capable of sustained driving at the manufacturers stated top speed. However the new RR does have a rider in the manual about fitting lower speed rated tyres and driving at the appropriate speed :?
