Thank you for the replies. Yes the Goodyear Vector Gen 3 seems to get really good reviews and seems a good option for this tyre size (and correct speed rating). I wonder if anyone has gone from the Wrangler to the Vector and can compare?

cheers for that - had a look at those and yes look well respected but don't they don't seem to do a 19" rim size. |

I can't figure if H speed rated tyres are manufacturer approved or not. I believe going against manufacturer approved speed ratings invalidates the insurance. The size is 235/55 r19 , and it seems V rated speed is the norm and is stamped on the door panel for this size. Black circles and other sellers recommend V rated tyres and above. However the handbook mentions both H and V for this size. I emailed LR who today replied with 'in regards to your query, I can confirm Michelin Latitude Tour HP with a speed index of 101/H have been tested by Land Rover and are recommended tyres.

Find me where that is written in your policy docs Not saying some insurers won't have some clauses that might be a bit dickish, but H is still faster than this car can go, and every winter tyre and AT tyre I have found for the FL2 is H rated or lower. ABI asked all their members to not be numpties about tyres a few years back after a couple of untrained call centre types made up their own rules and started telling folk that winter tyres would invalidate their policies. Apologies and compensation to customers ensued..... Current driveway contents: 2021 V60 Cross Country B5 2009 FL2 dog bus and shooting wagon On Order: 2023 Fisker Ocean Ultra - deposit paid. |

I see - interesting stuff - you obviously know or have researched a bit about the legal side. I just don't trust insurance companied, any excuse to wriggle out of a claim! Hence the caution. I haven't contacted the insurer - the young lass or lad on the phone won't have a clue what I'm on about and will just say to stick with the manufacturers recommended I'm sure.

Used to be Head of Complaints for one of the UK's largest insurers. Have since done consultancy roles for a number of banks, insurers and credit businesses and work with them to stop them upsetting the FCA, FOS, ABI and their customers wherever possible!

And thank you so much for taking the time to post that table from the various Insurers . My company is currently AA but I see a recurring theme throughout the companies.
