| HELP ! New Disco owner needs to replace tyres |
|
First time here - can someone help please...
I have a Disco 3 with original Pirelli scorpion zero's which need replacing (all 4)
I've looked on-line and considered that I do 20,000 miles a year on mainly motorway but have started to do a little camping (wet fields), green laning and a little light off-road. The three tyres I'm considering are - Grabber AT2's, Scorpion ATR's or BF Goodrich AT. Can anyone tell me the most suitable from these OR should I simply be replacing the Zero's with a new set?
I've been quoted £145.00 each for Grabbers and £160.00 for scorpion ATR's.
255 / 60 / 18

I know a lot of folks, don't like them, but I've never had any issues with Goodyear Wranglers, both on this D3, or on either of my previous TD5's. Got 40k miles out of one set (like you, mainly motorway mileage), and never any issues with traction on wet fields with the caravan on the back either.
Worth a look?
Al Volvo XC90 B5 Plus Dark
Gone - MY18 D5 HSE - Corris on 22's with Black Pack
Now gone - MY16 D4 SE Tech, Loire Blue, Almond Leather, Privacy, plus some other goodies.
Old - MY12 D4 SDV6 XS Auto - Ipanema Sand with Almond Leather - Plus other niceties, and D4.com sticker
Older - D3 TDV6 XS Auto - Lugano Teal with Almond Leather, 20" Stormers, Shiny Tailpipes, DVD/TV - and obligatory D3 sticker
Ancient - D3 TDV6 S - Tonga with Ebony, 20" Stormers, satnav & DVD

Try AJS who is a site sponsor or have you considered a second set of 19" wheels and tyres? Ken has a few sets of 19" with new MT/Rs on, it may be worth checking this option out. Club Exped trailer
Club Timed Climate
Club Flappy paddle steering wheel
Club 300bhp
Club Prospeed test pilot/lab rat
Club National Luna Stella conditioner

At the risk of sounding like an idiot - who is Ken and how can I contact him?
I think 19's will be too pricey at the moment - but you neve know.
Thanks,

Well post again then I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
