Another new forum member here, having found this thread after searching on the Nokian Weatherproofs. Other than the initial press release and copies of it elsewhere there's been virtually nothing on these tyres until the last few weeks.

Mine were from Oponeo, who I have ordered from before, and delivery was seamless - took 3 days.

Still no joy with Tyre Leader.co.uk . No tyres, no confirmation of order, no e mail explanation for non delivery, no response to an e mail to their parent HQ.

Tradewind, get on to you're credit card company and lodge a complaint, they should be able to help. FL2 SD4 Metropolis Auto Santorini Black / ivory completely stock.

I would suspect that as they are made of silica compound (softer than rubber) and will offer good grip on most hard surfaces, though not on mud & grass etc ( for that you need a deep tread pattern) . Being softer they will most likely suffer more damage from stones etc when off road. MTPW. could be wrong. I never take my winter tyres off road unless their is snow ![]() Gravel should not be an issue, its only when the gravel becomes larger sharp edged stones you may suffer. edit: No mention of off road here, which kind of says it all. http://www.nokiantyres.com/company/news-ar...g-comfort/ ![]() |

I searched online for 'tyreleader'+'oponeo' before placing my order. I found many car forum members complaining about 'tyre leader' service / after sales which is why I went with the latter. Best of luck ! FL2 HSE Auto Galway Green

New rubber is on - lovely tyres and at £96 a corner a good price but what a feeble support system Tyre Leader has. Still have yet to receive any order confirmation or message to say that they were on way. They actually came unannounced by Royal Mail so I wasn't in to get them and went to the Royal Mail depot expecting to collect a small packet!. No replies to three e mails to the German company so something to be desired in the customer service department.

Just put a set on my 2013 Freelander now winter wheels - so no doubt it will be the mildest winter on record.

The tread pattern reminds me a bit of the Michelin M+S that used to be fitted to Defenders about 25 years ago - they were maybe a bit more of a zig zag pattern but the Weatherproofs look like they would be Ok for a bit of light offroad. Last time I looked Oponeo had them for £100 in 235/65/17 - the price seems to fluctuate daily by a couple of quid.
