Hi all. Long time lurker here. I have taken the plunge and bought my first RRS. 2009 2.7 TDV6 HSE spec in Stornoway Grey. Cover 80,000 and just had its belts done. 👌🏻 It's currently running a mix of three different brand tyres, Goodyear, Continental and a Marshal 🤢 What are tyres are people running on their sports? I've heard they are quite Tyre sensitive and want to make the best choice. Fitted with 255/50 R19's. Thanks in advance 👍🏻

Nice car
Get a Hunter 4 wheel alignment done once new tyres are on but only if all suspension bushes are A1 otherwise you'll be adjusting against inherent slack with shagged bushes 👍
Someone else will advise on tyres. I have 20" and keep them on stock Pirellis but get what is right for your model year  * Current: 2024 D350 Defender 90 on coils!
* Current: 1974 Lightweight 2.25L petrol. Old skool
* GONE: 2012 RR Sport HSE SDV6 Orkney Grey. Now being piloted by RRSTDV8
* GONE: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Full Fat. Amazing piece of kit.

tidy.

certainly been cleaned well

Yeah I always detail my own cars. Find them so much easier to keep clean once done properly! I'm lucky enough to have access to a hunter machine. Am I correct in saying they should be put into tight tolerance mode to have an alignment carried out??

Yes they should

Tight tolerance mode and a full tank of fuel (or equivalent weight added to the car). 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Wayne's right, TTM and a full tank  * Current: 2024 D350 Defender 90 on coils!
