Tyres
Got a new to me Defender coming, so the D3 is losing its farm duties and needs new tyres, the offroad ones have gone so its sitting on some fairly worn Pirelli zeros.
So looking at some all season tyres, mostly road, but also needs to drag a TA caravan out of fields and maybe some light off-road use, seems to me the tyres of choice seem to be AT3 or Scorpion ATR.
Opinions?==================================
05 D3 HSE V8 4.4
04 MG TF 135
03 MG TF 115 Cool Blue Edition
02 MG TF 160

Will need new boots soon. Has anyone here used Tyres Guru, they seem to have a good price on duratracs:
Duratracs. 46k out of 1st set. Newer ones have the benefit of an additional Kevlar band to sidewall, they are Q rated (99mph), my ins co no issues with that. A more aggressive tread than AT3, clear mud well (put Coopers to shame), great on/off tarmac in all conditions
Heard a few complaints re soft sidewall on AT3.Paul.
06 Java Black HSE - gone
12 Baltic Blue HSE - gone
15 Fuji HSE Lux
Club Biscuits, mmmm nice!
Traxide/Luna hybrid & Yellow top
Some Prospeed bits
+ some other stuff
