Tyre advice

I had 18" 60 profiles on perelli scorpion zero's Mud & Snow and Ice. Something like that and last year in the deep snow in the country they performed excelent and ploughed me through snow over a foot or two deep in the lanes and pulling cars out the snow.

The point:- I have now got 22" with 35 profile

Can I be as confident with the below spec or would you sugguest SNOW SOCK or CHAINS.

Pre Armed is Pre Warned as they say. If the snow comes again this year.
  • Manufacturer : Delinte
  • Model : DL4000 (M+S Rated)
  • Size : 285/35/22
  • Load Rating : 106 (XL)
  • Speed Rating : W: max 168 mph
Last resort is to bolt the 18" Perelli Scorpion Zeros on

Be nice to find a PSI Tyre Chart for the 22"'s does pressure go on the size/profile for PSI or do you need to factor the weight of the car

I doubt your'll find snow chains to fit 22" 35 profile tyre.

Personally I'd have a set of winter wheels, doesn't matter if they get kerbed or marked by snow chains...

22" low profiles in the snow !!!!

yer doomed Mr Mannering, doomed ah tell ye


Hang on to your old wheels and be VERY careful if fitting snow chains to a Rangie. They've got to be the right ones not to cause damage.
 
Hey peeps thanks for your help, ikept my perelli Zero's M&S and Ice it says 19"
But just found these babies that fit on 22" . I did research and found all types of snow socks....they work for snow but when things are patchy and you get to tarmac you need to stop and take them off and they retail for 40-60 quid. Same with ISEE, but they do a superior pair for 100 quid and they allow you to hit the black stuff "tarmac" without them knackering up. but it will cost you twice as much

see some demo's below. let me know what your views are as i still have not purchased yet.

NB. hello mediators/admin, not sure if i can post urls so let me know, but i did.
 
i don't get this. you got an answer but its not the one you want so you keep reshaping the question. its your car, your money, your choice. keep it on 22"s if that's what makes you happy.
 
In your first thread you said that you had a set of wheels and tyres that worked well last winter. Well use them. That's your traction issue sorted, your 22" wheels saved from damage from kerbing and salt, your expensive 22" tyres will last longer and you haven't spent any money. What more do you want.

Hi Folks,



Can anyone help me out here?



I have all weather, snow and mud rated tyres on my Range Rover. I was thinking of changing them to proper winter tyres for the winter. To my surprise my local garage told me they could not get any winter tyres for me. I was also told that I would be OK with the tyres I have on now.

I have tried to 'shop around' on the internet and found a few rather expensive tyres (Ł 1,200+) with the right specifications. I wonder whether they are worth their while?

I tried snow socks (apparently the easy and cheep option...) a while ago on my Freelander 2 and I was not impressed. The socks performed OK until compacted snow accumulated between them and the tyre. This did not take much longer than a few miles' drive in 2-3 inches of snow. The socks got displace, rolled around the axles and eventually torn apart.

Correct me if I am wrong but the snow socks are not really for deeper snow but for compacted snow and ice. And the same can be told about snow chains.

Forgive me if I am talking garbage I am but a snotty junior here.... :eek:

Cheers

I run Avon Ranger Ice winter tyres (I'm assuming you've got 18' wheels) I have them for regular Scandinavian trips rather than use at home (I'm a Southern Softie) and at home a mud and snow tyre would be adequate.

The Avons preformed fine right up to Northern Norway last year and are available from National Tyres at approx £170 a corner fitted. I've gone down the route of buying another set of alloys fitted with summer tyres and just change them over in April and October. To change over tyres was costing £15 a corner and these 18' wheels can sometimes be a bugger to balance.
 
I have Toyo Open Country All Terrain tyres on mine.
M+S rating and excellent on snow and ice, both up hill and down. Obviously u need to drive in accordance with conditions.
If u do so u won't get stuck with these tyres.
They are about £145 each on tyre shopper, that's fitted.
