Tyre recommendations
Looking for a bit of advice on any recommended tyres for my Disco 3. Currently running Wranglers but unhappy about road noise and wear rate. Have been offered Yokohamas at a good deal... any feedback welcome.
No expert but for an all year round tyre the Vredestein Wintrac 4 extreme's are great and not a bad price to. Will get about 38-40k miles out of my first set.

Had YokoOnoWottsits when my came to me originally from dealer. Awful. Noisy - little grip - wore quickly. Swapped for Latitude Tour HP which were good for 40K. Excellent on motorways and greasy country roads. Looked a bit weedy, weren't good at all in the snow, and I worried I'd get stuck in a field with them. Had Goodyear Wranglers on my D2. Swapped to General AT2 on my D3 about a year ago - brilliant. Best all rounder I've had. Minimal additional noise. Superb in the snow. Great on greasy country roads. Wearing as well as the Latitude. Half the price of other makes, and they look super 8)2020 SDV6 D5 HSE, Carpathian Grey +

Doh! 255/60R18's struggling to find much under £150 a corner and need a full set, is this about right?

My local independent tyre place is fitting 255/60 18 Pirelli ATRs, complete with fitting, balance and old tyre disposal for a tenner less than Camskill's purchase only price.
For decent tyres, you're looking between £100 and £150 per corner depending on your preference. There are plenty of opinions, informed or otherwise on this (and many other) forums....
I chose Pirelli ATRs.

DSL, I don't wish to overly polish your pedestal (fnarr..), but you are considered by many to be wholly in the "informed" camp!
