 I got a set of XZL's ran them for a year until recently and found them wearing quite readily with road use but not as fast as remoulds granted. Tough as old boots though which is handy around here with razor sharp flints in abundance.

Bfg mt tires are good had them on the td5 I drive quite hard n they have done 20000 miles still got loads of tread on them but they were exspensive at 105 each on a 245/75/16

on my old disco i ran insa dakar never any problems with falling apart ran first set 2 years sidewals crazed after about 18 mounth but still passed a mot as was only on the serfuce thay did about 20k miles till fronts where down so had new set.
anyone that mowns about them for the money must have realy bad ones as for £60 a tyre when i got my last ones thay lasted 2 years and handles very well  due to being softer ruber id say better than bfg mt`s 2 m8s also have run 2 sets and also fine.
if you do 20k miles in 2 years there good if u wan them to years with low miles thay will crack before thay ware out but u get what u pay for iv had cooper stt`s on my 110 thay are no better or worse than the insas on or off road just thay will last longer and have my name on  :lol: but at over £100 a corner ill be watching out for sharp stones! the spcial trac insa could be a difrent  kettle of fish though i know my m8 had some boco dirt deveils years ago mint off road but lugs flying everywhere on road.

tecnics a m8 had a set and withing 18 months the sidewalls had split so much thay didnt hold air (my old insas still only crazed after 3 years  and holding air just not on a road going car)

Hi
Ive just had Insa Turbos fitted to my Disco (265/75 R16)
There great off road but the handling is horrid on road, there like having jelly nailed to the rims !!
there OK up to 50/60 mph but not good over that speed.

 ive ran special tracks now for three years on my disco no problems yes they arnt the best on the road but there unstoppeble in the mud . also you will hear people call them diff breakers thats because of the awsome tracktion and people spinning the wheels in the air and when they come down spinning its a lot of strain
