just my 2p for anyone one searching tyres
fitted a set of 235 85 16
to my discovery 1
must say very impressed with onroad performance also coped very well on the muddy stuff not had it in anything to deep yet
wow what a great tyre reviewits more for fun/looks
just a general tyre review![]()
They are the tyres I've used for about a year (285/75 16) and I promise you they are NOT good on road. They are good off road, I do some serious stuff but trust me they are close to dangerous on road. They use a lot more fuel too. The main problem is that they don't displace any water. I've locked up my wheels a few times coming up to roundabouts in the pouring rain and even aquaplaned once on a corner but luckily I quickly corrected it.
In short;
5/5 off road
2/5 on road
iv had some hard conering and braking today and not had a problem the federals used to lock up and understeer(wash out) badly with 6mm remaining
bit like most landys theni dont really drive that hard on the road
