Hi Andy,
I about to buy some Winter Tyres for my D4 - I was wondering, if you are ok to share: why did you go for the Goodyear Ultragrips?
and not say Pirelli's and Conti?

Thanks,
Johan

Mr Meth,

Do you know something i don't know? Is the land of the ice cream expecting it's own micro climate?

Johan - just price and availability first and then checking they get good reviews, which they do.

Thanks Andy,
I had 4 Goodyear Ultragrip SUV - fitted yesterday,
They were the best buy for me to find also,
+ for what it's worth, Goodyear Ultragrip is mentioned in the Land Rover Users Manual as 'Approved Winter Tyres'
and now for some snow,
Cheers all,
