What type of tyres?

(1/3) > >>

Dr Strangeglove:
I am looking to take my standard 1991 range rover V8 onto the mores in Rossendale, Lancashire.  I need to take some kit up there and as such using a vehicle will be a godsend compared to the carrying the stuff up a hill across quarried moorland.

However:-
My rangie is standard with the usual road biased tyres and I need to know your thoughts on if they will be suitable or if I may be risking it!  Obviously I don't want to get stuck as recovery will be very difficult due to location.  I could possibly get another 4x4 to go with me but I would rather not get stuck to start with!

The land is rough moorland grass and is relatively well drained (a wind farm is being installed as we speak so you can imagine the elevation).  I have walked over the land and I will pick a route on foot (avoiding holes, bogs, obstructions etc) but if I need to fit different tyres I will endeavour to get them before I try it!

Any advice will be received with thanks!

Kind regards

Mick

I would recommend a premium tyre, cooper STTs are excellent, i run on them myself.

great grip off road, work well on road, and look grrrrreat.

Still running BFG A/Ts on mine, long lifespan, great road manners (amazing on snow), and they're not too shabby on the muddy bits either. Expensive, but if you consider how long they last (I read about one person who got 120k miles from a set, 50k seems common) they're not too bad.

kizz81:
insa turbo special tracks arnt too bad. im not sure how long they will last but they are good in the mud and any other off road stuff come to think of it, not to expensive nither

very noisey on the road though
