Does anyone know what tread style the Forceum ATZ tyres are, i.e 80/20 etc. I have two on my 300tdi and need two new tyres to go with them so want something of the same ilk really and Forceum ATZ tyres are hard to come by now.

CAmskills list them although you don't say what size you have / want

FORCEUM TYRES / SUV / FORCEUM ATZ - 235/75R15 105S TL :: £62.30 :: 4x4 Tyres - SUV Tyres - All Terrain Tyres - Off Road Tyres - 15" :: R15" - 235/75/15, 235/75 R 15 ::

From the photo they look more road biased than a standard AT, if that's what you mean by 80/20..

Forceum ATZ's are rated as Road tyres for light off road use so cant find any statistical ratios for them though hope this helps!

Thanks guys. Thought they were an 80/20 tyre. Saw Camskill advertising them but sold out on 235/70/16.

Try Maxxis for good long tyre life. Personally I'd go for an AT rather than a road biased tyre but just watch your load ratings

Lol! Maxxis look good. I am only doing about 3K a year in the Disco so tyre life isn't important. I do want to put some BF Goodrich AT's on at some point, just spent the mortgage this month on putting things right since I bought her!

If you is looking for decent tyres on a budget try buying some partworns from Ebay I got 2 BFG MT's with 8mm tread and 2 Marshall Road Venture AT's with 8 mm tread fitted to Steelies for £85 plus the fuel to pick them up should last 15-20k miles so a decent stopgap til I can afford decent tyres

That's a good idea and what I did with my latest tyres. Thing is, been looking at some MT tyres on fleabay and at this time of year they are fetching silly money. Someone bid £440 on a full set of 4 part worn BF Goodrich tyres - was quoted that much for a new set, fitted!
