My FFRR came with new Goodyears. Done 34k miles and they are sill only 60% worn.

That seems very good to me, so if I have to replace them I'll be buying the same.

2007 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Tonga Green

As I have mentioned many times before - I don't rate the Continental Cross Contact tyres

The outside edge wears down to quickly and they look like they are bald within months.

Whilst I might drive the TDV8 Rangey in a spirited manner - it has been driven in much the same way as I drove my TD6 (that ran on Dunlops or Pirellis - can't remember which exactly)

Despite 1 x puncture, the TD6 didn't need any of the tyres replacing because of wear during the 25K I drove it.

I am always on the look out for part-worn Conti's on eBay (great believer in matching tyres on all 4 corners) - but the vast majority that do become available always have much the same wear issue.

I quite like the look of the Dunlop ST8000's on a Range Rover (quite beefy!) but not sure if they suit my style of driving either

2003 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 V8 Java Black

I've covered 7k on my Toyo's and they were almost new when I got the car. Still loads of tread and they perform well in snow/wet/dry.

They are the 22"s, camskill do them for £156.

Have a look at the website as you'll probably get decent tyres for the same price as those unheard of makes ! TDV8 HST Sport **Current**

What kind of price does it cost to have tyres fitted to alloys?

Are they the Goodyears that came with the wheels I got off you, or a different version??

2006 Range Rover Supercharged 4.2 SC V8 Tonga Green

I hope Accelera aren't that bad, I'm off to pick up a set this evening to replace my warn Conti X Contacts... I'll let you know how they turn out.

The other option was some Toyo Proxes which I've read good things about...

My local tyre place do it for a nominal amount for me, but then we put 5 cars and a motorhome to them for tyres, and MOT's as well and the motorhome and 2 old Hondas get service by them too. They swapped my wheels on the Sport between summer and winter and on my 90 for free too. I usually put £20 into their coffee tme biscuit box though. They are part of the Kwik Fit empire 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - itâ€™s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes
