Hi, all done and dusted. Avon Rangemasters it was. They do look a little thinner than the ones which were on but they are still 7.50 x 16. But the mpg is much much better. I reckon I must be getting another 4-5 mpg from them. Grip seems fine after the recent rain yesterday Still looks Land Roverish and not an off roader with white lettering and stuff. I know it is each to their own and all but I wanted to retain the Landy look. Noise levels - massive reduction Those others must have been dragging like mad with the tyre pattern and all that. So they have fulfilled all my criteria. Anyway once again, thanks or everyones input. Just need to put a 2.5 n/a in and get rid of that petrol thing and put an ashcroft transmission in and I will be one happy chappy.

Thanks for the info everyone after careful considersation it is the Rangemaster, quiet, perhaps one more MPG and still look like an original Land Rover tyre. Well not as original as the Avon Ranger but cant find a supplier for them anyway.

Hi all, I am looking for some quiter tyres for my mainly road going Series 3. I currently have some 7.50 x 16 on called 'Security' but they are fairly noisy at speed. http://tyresdirectuk.co.uk/shop/product-info.php?prodname=7.50-16-Security-ML-8PL-Tyres-&id=16567 I use my Series 3 as an everyday vehicle including a 40 mile round trip to work every day hence the quieter tyres but I want to keep the vehicle looking right as a Land Rover and not an SUV. Also a little gentle green laning now and then an occasional muddy field. I was thinking of something like Avon Rangemaster or General SAG, both available in 7.50 16 I think. Can anyone comment on the noise levels of these or recommend anything else that are quieter than Security but are still a proper 4x4 tyre. Thanks Ian
