I've used Michelin XCL 7.50x16 for 2 years. Great off-road, but they really need to be less than half worn to be really good. On road grip isn't great, wet tarmac, be afraid, very afraid.
I've now moved up to Michelin XL 9.00x16, which are the same tread pattern, just a lot, lot bigger. Fantastic off-road. Unstoppable.:D:D:D
Goodyear G90 Not great on or off-road. Tend to clog really easily.
Michelin XZL - Very similar tread pattern to BFG Mud. After all Michelin own BFG anyway. Very long lasting, not as good as XCL off-road, but better on.
 
Ok, because I'm gonna stick some new tyres on sharpish, I'm gonna swap my ****e 2.5 remoulds that came with my series 3 (remoulds, scary), with my mates 109 rims and standard LR tyres. Reckon I'd be ok sticking with them or getting some others such as XCls?
 
Depends what's 'standard LR tyres' really, maybe SAT's. If so depends on which make. Whether you go for the XCL's really depends on what you're going to be doing with the Landy. If it pretty much lives for green lanes like mine then yes get some, if it on road most of the time, you'd be better looking elsewhere. I just like the look of them too.
 
Ok. I'm still after some better tyres *sigh*, anyone got any decent tyres they fancy flogging, say some XCLs or XZLs or something similar?
Cheers guyzzzzzzz.
 
i would go for SATs (i have some fitted at the moment) the re-moulds are not as good as the originals but they are stil a good tyre
 
Well they're not amazing really are they. And they don't last nearly as long as proper tyres and have a habbit of just "going" willy nilly.
 
kumho's aint remoulds, but insa's are and a lot of folk swear by em.

i think yer man is talking out of his arse
 
erm...... 90% of truck tyres (i.e. lorry not yank for any vehicle bigger tahan a car) are remoulds its just a myth that they are any less safe, i have had 3 'new' tyres blow out one me and 0 remoulds................
 
Haha, fair enough then, but yeah, my original point, remoulds aside, just need better tyres that arent almost road tyres haha. And thanks for the advice. Anyone got any for sail?
 
Yeah alright!! Slight faux par on the typing there, but in does anyone have any none smart arse answers?
 
i have zero quanitity of any none, but i have plenty of smart arse answers on the other hand




sorry i had to do it, yella made me
