Hi to the Zone

Well, I finally cracked and got myself a 2001 Range Rover DSE.

Two weeks in and I'm still getting to grips with the change from my Subaru Legacy Outback. No more BMW baiting in the fast lane for me! Fun but I really should grow up.

It's also the first time I've taken part in a forum like this but I joined because I just know I'm going to need help -lots of it.

You lot won't be surprised that I already have a list! I'll get to the funny noises and entertaining engine-shaped flashing lights another day but I thought I'd start with an easy one -tyres.

It's got a worn set of Scorpion Zeros on it and there's clearly a balancing issue as there's a vibration around 60mph. It also tram-lines quite a bit. They need replacing so I have the opportunity to get the right rubber on it. Looking online there's quite a range of options and very varied reviews so I'm quite confused. My budget isn't huge but I know it's worth investing in the part where the machine meets the planet but spending more doesn't guarantee a better result. I need the low-down from the people in the know!
What tyres should I fit to this beast to get decent on-road handling and avoid total embarrassment when I visit farmers?

:welcome2: to the mad house, have a :search: mate, the "what tyres" thread gets done to death, thick skin and a good sense of humour and you'll be fine.




I prefer traditional round black ones for my tyres,

Thanks Grimmer, I've had look, you're right there's a lot there and the black round ones do seem quite popular!

Ah, the flashing lights these cars have. Half the time the damn sensor is knackered, and the other half, well, you have a problem.
:welcome2:
