SmasherWebbs Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 If this doesnt open up a can of worms i dont know what will! I have a 300tdi 90 and im looking for a good (GOOD!) set of tyes that i can use: 1 on the motor way 2 off road without getting stuck in 6 inch's of mud 3 dont become to loud over 60/70ish 4 in the past i have found that the high end tyres dont last long i.e. pirrelli's i had for a hatch back only lasted 9 months due to the soft compound but they did grip like a gorrilas fist! The tax man has just given me a rebate so its all going on the landy before she finds something to spend it on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkey964 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I've found General grabber AT2's to be a good all round tyre,and not too expensive. I'm currently running Cooper Discoverer STT's on my 110,it's too early to give a decision on longevity,but in all other areas I have no complaints.Though I find them slightly noisier than AT2's.Only to be expected as they are a slightly more agressive tread patern.

mcc1979ian Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Either general grabber at or cooper atr currently have both and both are equally as good Had the coopers 4 years and they are finally getting to needing replacing General Grabber AT2's 3 years and still plenty of life left General Grabber AT 6 months and id say they are slightly better as the old AT2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakmaster Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I got 90,000 and 110,000 (staggering but true) for the front and rear pairs on my late wife’s 300 Tdi 90. From Michelin M&S 235 / 70 -16 I replaced them with a set of Pirelli STs because they came out top for braking in an LRO test – they lasted about a week! And I got 70,000 from a set of Goodrich commercials 235 / 85 -16s on my 110 300 Tdi CSW (they didn’t look very ‘Kool’ and were not ‘Mudders’ ) I don’t mean to Hi Jack this thread but as an aside – I’d be interested to hear any recommendations for a 110 Pick-up tyre ( I say 110 Pick-up because of the negligible contribution made by the rear brakes) I want to Go in the Snow and stop in the rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
