hi I've just bought 4 tyres 750 x 16 and wheels for my series swb a matched pair of ok tyres and one mich xpc and one Goodyear wrangler. I'd like to have a matched pair. ( ooh er )
Both have good tread the Goodyear is almost new.
Which tyre should I buy to make a pair up?
on road use but would like to go green laining at some point
Thanks all

Which ever you can get cheapest. Not particulary off road biased so both should be fine for on road stuff? Might stuggle in the mud.

I'm leaning towards the xpc as they seem to be more around

Yep, round is a good place to start, black rubber is another good idea.

I'd save for a set of four of whichever, new and matching ...

Which I realise doesn't help you right now, but even on a budget I don't take chances with tyres ...

Completely agree, I only put top of the range tyres on my wife's car and even on my van I bin any tyre over 5 years old.... But I'm doing no more than 1000miles a year in the landy, 60miles an hour tops(!?) so will live with different tyres on front and rear, but know I should match the axle, just don't know which of the above is the best to go with!
Cheers
