Does anyone know anything good or bad about the above company/tyres??

Just came across them today and I am interested in possibly getting a set. The tyre itself looks like a copy of the Insa Sahara but is available in a wider range of sizes which is good as I like the sahara's but they don't do the sizes I want.

Trouble is I cannot find any reviews of the tyre or the company other than to know that it is an established Italian manufacturer.

So any extra information would be good.....

i had these vey tyres on my old landcruiser. They look exactly the same as Sahara's but at a fraction of the price. Take quite a bit of balancing tho'

I ran them for 3 years (both on & off road) and apart from being a bit "interesting" on a wet motorway at 80mph plus and a bit noisy I really rated them.

Not going that way with the RR tho' - once the scorpions are worn I'm going either for the new general grabber AT3 or the Cooper LTZ (light the blue touchpaper & stand back)

Thanks for that I feel more confident now. I have a spare set of wheels I want to stick these on. Partly as they are cheap, partly as they will be great around where I live. I intend about 30-40% off road and the rest on. But I rarely get over 50 mph around here mainly A+ B roads and very little dual carriageway, next to no motorway.
Essentially I will put some good quality summer tyres on between March and Nov so these would get limited wear unless I go out on the plain :)
 
I got 2 delivered (they lost the other 2) and now I have them they look too big. :confused:
They are the correct size for the wheel, 255/65/16 but the extra tread makes it look like it will not fit in the arch of a P38, certainly when on the bumpstops. Pumped up to normal height may be ok.

Any advice?

Cheers

try them and then fit extended poly bump stops gives you another inch

Great idea.

I have it up to normal ride height now and looks like they will fit. Good stuff.

What's your experience as I put two on the back of my disco 2 and I was all over the place on the motorway, hard to stay in a straight line!!!!!
