Probably good off road to help you back to the tarmac after you have aquaplaned off the road
What did you do with your Range Rover today

Yes. When they were fitted, they were way over at 50+psi.. I've got them down to what they should be.. seem to be wearing ok

New oil and filter, new fuel, air and pollen filters too.
What did you expect? Those tyres are rated C for wet grip. The difference in stopping distance between A & C is 7 metres when braking from 50mph. I only use my P38 on tarmac & never fit anything but tyres rated A for wet grip.

I would rate them more like an G.
The general grabber at3 are a D and excellent in comparison

to put it into context, on a normal rainy day, if a wheel hits a puddle ( I dont mean deep, just normal surface water i wouldnt even blink at on my motorbike) you'll feel the car tug to the side
this kind of thing

Isn't that just drag from the water rather than aquaplaning? I've had that on many cars.

potentially sometimes yes.. but when you're moving about the road and moving the wheel does next to nothing.. in my book thats aquaplaning

I wonder if traction/stability control systems are getting in the way and making things worse, not better?
Not noticed anything but maybe i should check all the brakes are wearing evenly

Only if your braking through the water. Checking your brakes is a good idea or maybe don't go out in the rain
. Being honest there are a few models of land-rover that should not go out in the rain. I think the wider the tyre the more the impact onto the waters surface giving a bigger reaction.
