WTB Tires and Wheels

I'm looking for a set of tires (winter) and if available wheels. Just curious if anyone State side took off their OE's to upgrade?

Thanks Thumbs Up

I have a set of Pirelli Scorpion Snow and Ice 19's that are on a set of RRS 19" wheels..................... bought them a year ago and then went overseas for the whole winter so never got to try them. Whistle Whistle

Tim,

That's exactly what I'm looking for! Now for the challenge, how do we get them from point A to point B, without paying a kings ransom?

I'm not selling! I bought the wheels from a member here who didn't want them and the local tyre shop found the tyres at a very good price!

You surprise me that those Pirellis aren't available in the USA, especially in the midwest where there are far harsher winters than we get here. I see from the Pirelli UK website that the tyres I have are now available in 20"
size this year too!

Have you tried advertising for a set of RRS wheels over on the RRS section of www.RangeRovers.net ? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

The Pirelli's are available both retail and on line. I'm trying to find another set of wheels so I can switch out from summer to winter.

I have a set of Pirelli Snow and Ice currently mounted that only have 3/32nds tread remaining. The Snow and Ice are by far the best tire for the job. However, they do wear out in short order. In retrospect, the rapid wear is a fair trade off for the safety and performance they provide.

The quick wear was also commented on by Smarticus who I think has only had 1.5 seasons use from his. They must be a very soft compound.

I'm looking forward to a cold enough winter here to need to use them! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
