Tyres Question

<< < (2/5) > >>

gords:
I think most (but not all!) tyres are OK for a Discovery TDi, but you need to check the tyre speed rating if you have a V8.

We have a list here.

ibruceuk:
Sorry forgot to say it's a V8.

Range Rover Blues:
Then remoulds are out, they aren't speed rated high enough I think.  It may be borderline on a 3.5 so check your manual but if the car can do over 98 MPH then you can't use remoulds.

I have 235/85 BFG MT and TBH they are no better than my old Machos in the mud, slightly better at some things, slightly worse at others.  On the road I find them a bit lairy.  They are wearing quickly and now that they are run-in the sidewalls have softened considerably, you need to plan well ahead when driving or things can get a bit white-knuckle.  Even they are only Q rated though, so no good for a faster V8.

ibruceuk:
The book speed is 105mph, but the Amazon remoulds are rated to 110mph so they should be ok..

Range Rover Blues:
If they are then yes, but that's quite high for a remould.  Good on them if they are, that pattern is very capable off road.
