Dezzie Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hi everyone. I've tried using the SEARCH button, but it's not really helping me with my question. I need to change the rear tyres on my V plate Yr 2000 Series 1 Freelander diesel. I'd really like them to be 50 / 50 between on road and off. Like an All Terrain tyre I guess, which is what is fitted at the moment. Don't use the car for off road, but need it for bad weather. I haven't got a massive amount to spend, and was looking at no more that £50 a piece. At the moment I've got budget tyres on. I think they're MAXXIS RADIAL 751 195 / 80 15. (fitted by the previous owner) Anyone tried Pirelli Scorpion ? Or Wranglers ? Any reccomendations (and rough ideas of prices) would be very much appreciated. Cheers ........................ Matt.

minimaquinas Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 hi have a look at camskill tyres they are quite cheap and do free delivery hth brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJF Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hi, Less than £50 each sounds ambitious. When I was looking I couldn't find anything under £70, but then I didn't check Camskill (Thanks Brian, I'll have to remember that). I drove last years snow on BF Goodrich Macadam T/A and I couldn't fault them. They also worked reasonably well off road. I now have Genral Grabber ATs fitted. I think that Pirelli Scorpion and/or Goodyear Wranglers were original fit? Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 You'll be lucky to find anything at £50 a corner, especially AT. Camskill are cheap but you then have to get someone to do fitting & balancing & disposal, when I added it up my local tyre place were maybe £5 more in total on a set of four of anything, minus the hassle of waiting for couriers etc. Quite a few part-worns on eBay usually, I got an excellent set from Chandos at http://4lrspares.com/ who comes highly recommended.

Blippie Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Would think that all but the mildest AT tyres are far to extreme for 99% road use, even if you are thinking about snow and ice. If you are buying a pair, it is worth checking that the pair with the largest diameter are on the rear - check this even if the tyre sizes are supposedly the same.
