I've got myself a set of standard OE white steel wheels for my 110. Now I'm after a set of 'road-only' tyres for them that are good on fuel economy and road handling for such a heavy car, for a low price :lol: OK, so you get what you pay for, I know, but suggestions welcome.

Cheers
Ollie

Eeyore:
Avon Rangemasters (7.50x16) - surprisingly. Can be had very cheap as they come as standard and everyone throws 'em out cos the utterly useless in the muck! But they were a good tarmac tyre especially in the wet. They can start to chunk after 45- 50k miles though, although a friend got 60k out of set.

Grip was excellent, and rolling resistance was very low. Very quiet too.
But no good in the muck.

Cheers
Eeyore

Ollie:
Cheers Eeyore, I have a set of off-road wheels and tyres. These will be just for the road, nothing else :D
Suggestions on where to get Avon Rangemasters?

Thanks.
Ollie

Watty,
I have a set of BFG AT's on another set of modulars. These are brand new, and came with the vehicle. I'm selling these, as I have the Goodyear MTR's as you point out :D
I like the look of the 110, with it's original steel white wheels. I have the wheels, just looking for a set of 'road' tyres to go on them.
I'll swap each set of tyres over, depending on long road journeys, or off roading.
Maybe I have too much time on my hands :mrgreen:
