Australia 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Zermatt Silver

Thumbs Up excellent idea, I reckon Sportsman may win on the hot side, it must average 50C in the Middle east, and perhaps aljo if he is still hiding from his girlfriend in the antartic Whistle Laughing still need the proof by seeing the -50C

Do you like the partial slicks, new range of Conti tyres

From my experience with now 3 current shape Landrovers and Range Rovers I would only recomend Coopers. Load index and speed ratings are two different items, one measures overall load and the other velocity, speed. The coopers have the highest load rating of any tyre I have seen. I fitted coopers HT-Plus 260/65 to both RR MY03 and LR3 MY05. This tyre has outperformed any oem tyre I have ever driven on any car. The breaking distances have fallen, both cars cornered better and both outperformed the previous tyres off road. I should also mentioned that they outlasted the oem spec tyres. Forget the hype about euro spec buy the coopers.

afraid the Conti's gave up the ghost on the Great Ocean Road trip at xmas, so a bit late for the coopers. I ended up with Goodyear Wranglers all round, not my first choice but all i could get my hands on at the time..Oh and the difference on setup at the time. I believe the tolerance on the computer geometry stated it was 1 degree 11 minutes toe for Disco3/RRS, mine was set at 11 degrees toe, hmm someone screwed up somewhere post the Steering rack change..just try getting the stealers to admit it
