Plan B. Can't get GG AT3s at a Y rating. Anything other than what's on the door plate (wheel /tyre sizes) will constitute an MOT failure here - and render insurance invalid. And I'm not changing the wheels.

Y rating? Are you sure. That's 186mph.

It does seem a bit daft, and I've found quite a bit on the internet about it.

Other than the Goodyear MT that the G4s were equipped with, the RRS has always been equipped with a road tyre that can go off road rather than a more 50/50 AT that are quite common now e.g. the Grabber AT3. I guess that was because it was supposed to be the go-anywhere sports tourer of the range (Disco being the load hauler, FFRR being the luxo-barge and Defender being the working vehicle).

I had a set of Vredesteins on my mk1 Audi TT (I know a totally different type of vehicle) and rated them as probably the best tyre I have fitted on that car (including my previous TT). MY17 RRS 4.4d V8 Autobiography - Aintree Green (also referred to on Topix as British Racing Green) |

I'm interested in why you've needed to change from what you have been using. New location? Worse weather conditions? Etc.? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
