no need, i specifically did not ask what tyre to get, thats why i went to BFG site for a browse, i dont need any yet but want to know what to get when the time comes.
Hopefully my mixed crap that i have on it now will see me through winter.
I did a search but there was no answer that really said to me "get these ones" which is to be expected i guess.

Oh crap, so what IS a good all round tyre for a disco that is 90% road used but does not want to show itself up in the snow etc .

Bear in mind that the Paddocks prices are ex vat, whereas the Camskill ones include vat.
Incidentally, is it right that vat in the UK is going up the 1st of Jan 2011 to 20%?

Been reading tyre threads with some interest lately, saw an article about smaller companies buying old moulds from the big boys. Anyone got any experience of these? Tread pattern looks remarkably similar to GG AT's. Any good?

I've got these, and they've been great on and off road, great in the snow too, but I think they are quite a soft compound, cos they're wearing quite quickly...

I had General UHP's '18" wheels) on my previous TD5 auto and found them to be excellent: quiet onroad, wore well - I did about 25,000kms with then and there was loads left, surprisingly good in light offroading.
