great tyre chalky, but not exactly budget tyres (although good VFM given capablity and wear rate)
go search ebay, something like this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BUDGET-SINGLE-TY...idth%3A255|Aspect+Ratio%3A55|Diameter%3A19&hash=item2a1f6ea323
or this:

not saying either are any good, just budget tyres

Do you really want to fit budget tyres on such a good vehicle  but if thats the route you have to go down, my car was fitted with a couple of acceira iota`s when i bought it,needless to say i changed them when i was able to, however they wernt as bad as people say they were and im still here to tell the tale. They are an ok budget tyre if its budget you need to fit.

thats fair enough, i had 4 GG AT`s fitted on 18 rims less than £600 at AJS 4X4. try not to go down the budget route because it will spoil a damn good car that needs attention lavished upon it. lots of  but then  in the long run.

Budget as in "cheap tyres to make it legal" is not the same as "tyres that keep you on the road at speed / in nasty conditions and last a good mileage so don't cost many pence per mile" - I'm happy with Pirelli ATR's but folk with General AT's seem to rate them too.

Thats a good price. Are they from a bloke called Ash in the Midlands. I got 2 from him last year well good. Just make sure you get the wheel alignment done when you have them fitted and double check there manual that its the right setting. I used Paisley feight to ship cracking good company.

Any body got any comments for Goodyear Duratec? It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Yes - have them on mine - 19"s as a swap pair for my MTRs.
Only done few thousand miles in them so far but they seem fine. Good in the wet, and it has been so very, very wet recently and seem pretty capable in the mud having got me out of the local swamp near my home too, and although I have the MTRs for planned of road excursions, reckon these would be a close match.
You get a bit of road noise from what I would imagine over road-only bias tyres but no worse than the MTRs. Not cheap but in my opinion only - good value and well worth the money. Oh and they look good too if that's important 8) D3 HSE V8...

Sorry I was mixing up the new Duratec with the old (non-kevlar) MTR. The MTR has a Duratec (or similar name) sidewall stamp on it.
