Well that’s all fine and good. But not really an insurance thing. Let’s face it a non ABS classic Range Rover is not going to stop in the same distance as a brand new Polo. But it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t drive the RR.

We all have an opinion, however I will stick to my 3mm tread depth & rubber less than 10 years old

That's it one man's safe is another man's caution.. I'm happier with 1.6mm in the summer than in the winter

Lol. But when does opinion become fact or denial?

If you go by thread depth any MT tire should have you cover for life, yours not the tire's. The 18 year old ones I replaced last year still haf as much thread as the new ones, the old ones were hard enough to not budge a bit when the pressure was decreased by a bar, from 3.5 to 2.something.

Those Michelin ones do look interesting, did they go, originally, with the 5 spoke Vogues rims? I have a couple of those lying around buy no tires... Origibal spec Michelins would look good!

these wheels, i have them on my 2A

I assume so, mine are the standard Vogue rims, painted grey with the 3 slots.
Had them refurb'd a couple of years ago.
