Quandary! My HSE is fitted with Good Year EagleF1 GS-D3 XL, which by all accounts are 99.9% road tyre, even the goodyear site has them as high performance road tyres blah blah motor racing blah!! you get the picture! Not really what you want on a 4x4 esp heading back into winter. I have no doubt as to their aquaplaning resistance etc.BUT, snow I dont see that working out.

these are the 60/40 50/50 on /off road tyres not the more road biased wranglers and scorpions that are standard fit.these are both a more aggressive tread folks.there seems to be 3 types of Scorpion and a few differing types of wrangler. FL2 HSE Tonga Green and Clio Sport 182 (Hers!)Milltek exhaust ,Speedline Turinis. |

I'd love to be able to give an opinion but are having serious difficulty getting hold of an AT type tyre.

, looking more and more like I will simply end up putting on the goodyear wrangler HP all weather then,the handling qualities of the AT's on Goodyear's own website give them 2 out of 5! given that the car will spend 70-80% of its time on road then that's not an area for too much compromise.Especially as I work overseas and want to leave the car in a condition where my wife can take a car that will guarentee her arrival whatever the weather (if it's that bad she wont be going anywhere anyway!).Cant believe someone put Eagle F1's on a Landie, must have been a townie!! (Yes, it says Edinburgh, but thats my nearest City,not where I live).
