Hi All.

Had the Disco for about 3 months and done 5000 miles, about 2000 of which touring scotland with the caravan on the back.

Noticed a lot of wear on the nearside tyre on the outer edge so i guess the tracking needs a looking at (or i need to spend less time in the gutter)

Just wondering, how many miles should we expect from a set of tyres, is it true they should be replaced in pairs and anybody know of any good deals at the moment. (live in stoke)

Cheers

Carlos

PS miles mainly motorway 50 - 60 mph

Four months ago I changed my tyres. I had BFG Macadams on and I got the best part of 25000 out of them. I'm sure it would have been more had I not towed a 2.5 ton trailer round on a regular basis.

I replaced them with BFG A/T and they have been on for 4 months now and aren't showing signs of wear yet, and I'm still towing the trailer.

If its mainly road stuff, I,d definatley have a look at General Grabber UHP,s.
I have a set on my 2002 TD5, and I think "theyre great"!!.
( better of road than I thought aswell ! ).
