Hi everyone,
I need 2 front tyres on my disco 2 255/55/18 can any one advise me of some tyre choice's please, it's used on the road mostly but with the odd greenlane day and off road course.
Cheers

I've got the same predicament and same usage . Currently have Goodyear Wrangler HP's - anyone suggest something else?
Had a look at these how do you find the noise on the motorway and does the fuel economy alter

I agree with jimbo-td5 with the AT2 general grabbers, Awsome tyres for what you want I had them goodyear wranglers on mine, They didnt last 7 months with the milage i do. I just about done 30,000 on mine now and their just on about half way through mine cost me £125.00 each, the garage done a deal because i bought four.

We would agree with the general grabber AT2's. Quiet on the road and good in the snow. Check out the pic in our profile. No problems churning through a foot and a half of snow.
I went to camskill, General Grabbers UHP delivered next day and had them fitted for a tenna a wheel, great on road very capable off, im a 90% road guy anyway but occasioanlly tow off road muddy caravan fields.
These are £96 a pop but were cheaper last year about £85 im sure they were

I have General UHP's on my TD5 with 18" wheels and AT²'s on my wife's TDi 300.
I find the UHP's are excellent on-road and surprisingly good off-road, but next time I think I will buy AT²'s.
Why do I say this? When you have a vehicle like a Disco they are so competant at everything you ask of them, there is a temptation to ask too much of road biased tyres. I am slightly concerned that the sidewalls of the UHP's are not quite up to the job of real off-roading and I have no such worries with the AT²'s.
Hope that explanation helps your decision making. Basically, go for AT² and you'll be happy for a looooooooong time.

Looks like the AT2 get the vote - thanks from me anyway.

Hi, I've got Avon Ranger Sports on mine, same size as you're looking for, been excellent in the snow / ice, great off road and quiet on road. Used to have Wranglers but to be honest after reading different reports I couldn't justify the price. No noticeable difference in consumption and fairly cheap, too. Here's a link...
