Hi,

I'm thinking of some new tyres for my 109 LWB Prima diesel Land rover and I was wonder if anyone has used this place before?

www.tyresdirectuk.co.uk

I'm looking for something mainly for road use as seldom go off road, at most it would be a little light green laining. I only use the landy on rare odd weekends so wont be clocking up loads of miles.

Could I have some comments on these please...

Tyres Direct UK :: 4x4 :: Kingpin MT :: 235/70R16 Kingpin XPC

Many thanks in advance

Are you sure you want that size?

235/85R16 is the equivalent of 7.50x16 which I think would be better.

The Kingpin shown is a remould version of a Michelin pattern. You could get Military take off Michelins from Vass in Ampthill for the same money. They'd be miles better.

Vass want £47 for 50% warn and the remoulds ate £40 for new

If Vass a better deal??

No worries fella, i'll get the digital snapper off my nipper when she gets home.
The wheels would need a paint/spray job, as they are ex military jobbies.

Sorry mate, i've been flat out with work.
I could post up all the pic's you want, but you are never going to fit them in the back of your Pug 306

Have you looked for ex defender tyre sets from people upgrading to Alloys on EBAY. Got a set of 5 Michenlin XPC two months ago for £140

dvb668w · Jul 29, 2010

I'll keep an eye out.
I'm away on a short break in a couple of weeks so was hoping to get a match set of rubber on the landy. At the moment I have security tiers on the back (a bit like good year high milers) and something smiler to the Michelin on the front. I kind of get a mixed road rumble, not a problem on short trips but wouldn't mind a uniform rumble if I'm going to be in it for a few hours LOL

Tyer advice please
