Hello from Rural France,
My 2002 Disco 2 is fitted with Goodyear Wrangler HP 255/55 R18 tyres, the rear tyres are virtually new having done about 4000 kms but the front tyres are worn and need replacing before the snow starts. The problem is that these tyres are no longer available and my local dealer has said that I should replace all 4 tyres as it is not good to mix them up (due to problems with the "wheel sensors"?). I can understand that differing tread patterns could cause a problem but do I really need to change all 4 tyres, is there another tyre available that has the same tread pattern? Any advice would be appreciated as we are talking about some serious money to change all 4.
A bientot,
Trevor
