No they're Goodyear. The only downside with these tyres is the hugely increased road noise. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Cheapest way of getting new tyres is the ebay method. Good luck. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

LR customer service seem very good so far, took the car to the dealer (Barrets of Ashford) who feels the tracking is out, so has booked it in for laser tracking and also some wear to front bush.

Actually for my Hankook Ventus RH06, this site was way cheaper... 140 € per tyre on eBay VS 115 € on mytyres.co.uk. ![]() http://www.mytyres.co.uk/ Placed the order on the 3rd of January, the 5th they were sent and received them the 8th... |

But for £500 you get 4 tyres AND 4 wheels - beat that! |

I have found Kwik Fit on line significantly cheaper recently - especially for Pirelli's. The on-line price is quite a bit lower than the price quoted in their physical outlets. But order and pay on-line then they deliver the tyres to your nearest (or specified) depot where they fit them and balance and dispose of your existing tyres at no additional charge. That further extends the benefit and cost savings of buying on ebay. So for example, a set of 4 Pirelli Scorpion 255/55/19's are less than £140 each fitted if bought on-line at kwik fit. The mytryres, and blackcircles prices were all closer to £200 and that wasn't fitted. Ebay can be cheaper if full sets are bought - but then you run out of room of sets of unused wheels !

the original 20 inch continentals on my 2.7 HSE sport lasted 30,000miles, the Pirellis that I have on now have 25,000 miles and look lke they will last another 3 or 4k.

I have just gone through 33,000 on the original tyres and I am still a good way from the wear bars in the tyres. I would suspect they will easily clear 40,000 miles. Not sure on the brand of tyres, Goodyear rings a bell.

dont think it matters which model it is, weights arent very different and all the cars are permanent 4 wheel drive, think its more to do with type of driving and way car is driven, most of my miles are on fairly straight dual carriageways with little city driving or slow speed manouevres |
