--- Quote from: "Range Rover Blues" ---One tiny problem-ette with an V8 is that many MTs are not rated correctly for the speed the V8 is capable of.
Otherwise I'd say Machos are good, BFG are ok.

BUT, how often are you going to speed over muddy terrain and while rock crawling? You tend to go slowely-ish, right?

When things are rosey then go with it....... if it goes belly up..... replace it :lol:

I always strive to understand as must as possible. Including auto gearboxes, and so women included...
...when I can be bothered, that is! :P
hairyasswelder:
Doesnt matter how fast or slow you drive. a tyre is rated to max speed of vehicle, 102 mph (V8) Insurance company says so :roll:
I have done 102 mph in mine once in 3 1/2 years. apart from it being above the speed limit etc and I on 3rd change of tyres
There are plenty of tyres out there to suit all conditions

SebastianW:
Oh right, well I'm planning on having a set for purely on-road and a set for off-road. I think I forgot to mention that. :lol:
You dont exactly have to worry about going over 102mph off-road do you? :P So I could just get some on-road tyres that can go fast enough.
P.S. Can a V8 Rangie seriously go 100+? :shock: My Dad's 3.5 90 goes 80mph tops :?

Yep :shock: will cruise at 80 on motorway :lol: its all down to the gearing
RR was designed to be more friendly on road than a 90 :wink:

102 is top speed for 3.5 V8 EFI
SebastianW:
nice. forget defenders, it's range rovers all the way! :D
I found this site about rangies, it's all american, but I guess it cant be that much different to our rangies.
