HELP
Hi i no this has been covered lots of time but my head is spinning.
i am about to buy a new set of boots on my disco 3 and i dont no what to get.I will be using the disco for light green laning and 80% of the time it will be on the road as i have a defender for all the other stuff. So my question is All Terrain or OEM tyre any advice would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance

Sounds like you could get away with almost any M + S tyre as you have the Defender for all the hard work.
But maybe an All Terrain would be more durable.
All ways happy to talk rubber and we could quote you on mail order if you want.
