I fancied some ATs for my Freelander so I have gone for a full set of these. I know they're a budget tyre but the price seemed so good. I read some reviews and the consensus seems to be that they are excellent value and a good cheap alternative to the more popular and more expensive brands.

Has anyone else tried these? What's your opinion?

I asked much the same question a few weeks ago. Although having looked about I found that Yokohama Geolanders were about £8 a tyre more so went for those over the budget INF 200.

That's what a few reviews said, really good in all conditions. I need the car in Winter and help out with Northants 4x4 Response so I will need something grippy.

I think they have just screwed my MPG though! :jaw:

It would depend on what tyres you had on there? But in general AT type tyres will cause you to use more fuel that purely road based tyres.

So you pay a bit less but fill up more frequently? I can't see the difference. MPG is MPG whenever you fill up surely?

I have em on my TD4.
Great all rounders.Brilliant in the snow.
Mpg is maybe 3 or 4 miles worse but they have a good feel on the road.
Much prefer them to the Scorpions I had on before.
If you only ever drive on the road, buy an estate car and some winter tyres for when it snows is my opinion.
Also they are are cheap enough to replace when half worn.
It`s up to the individual.If you want a big name you pay for it,
After watching the Silverstone Grand Prix, I suspect Pirelli`s may be on offer soon.

Just put a set of 4 of these on (infinity INF200), cheap and hopefully relatively cheerful. Would have been nice to go for a nice well know AT tyre but will see how they go on the local green lanes very soon......
