Disco HSE tyres are looking shabby
All 4 of my Disco's Pirelli Scorpions (255/55/19) are looking near end of life. Any suggestions as to where to buy them. They are looking hideously expensive at around £180 a piece at everywhere I try.

£700 of tyres on a £40,000 car isn't really that bad....they can support 2.7 tonnes at 100mph+ and keep your pride and joy on the straight and narrow in snow and foul weather - plus keep you and your loved ones out of the hedge & ditch - I'd say £700 looks cheap

Puffsorted, have you had a good look at your tyres, especially on the inside edges. I have to confess I was very when AJS were replacing mine as had not realised how bad they were, also a big to AJS and the Vredestein Wintracs, really noticed a big difference in th snow this year.

40 , 50k on a set of tyres !!! Is that simply down to the depth of the tread on 4 x 4 tyres ?
