Seems it’s in the description but not on the label section on BC
Taking a punt on the Falkens. Haven’t had a bad tyre from them yet, had various versions of their Ziex (I think) all seasons on the last few cars and they’ve never left me stuck or worn out at any rapid pace (despite some enthusiastic Audi driving in my past…)

Edit: By location limited I mean it’s easily another £100 in fuel, coffee and lunch, and a whole day out for me to go and get them fitted in Inverness. Whereas BC have an approved fitter 25 miles away so I can manage that in a morning
Will your local BC approved fitter not fit tyres you supply?
I'm sure a local garage will probably be able to fit tyres as well.
Other online retailers often also have approved fitters. Maybe none up your way right enough.
I've used all of the above before and would/will again.

@RRSTDV8 I’ll take manufacturer anyday, it was just missing a symbol in the place I was looking for the symbol, on the website I was looking at.
@JMack Shipping* adds up to about the same as fitting, whereas BC fitted has that already covered, and actually works out slightly cheaper (and a lot faster**) than buying them delivered to home and then taking and paying separately to have them fitted. And the approved garage isn’t the garage we fell out with last year…

Time certainly flies by and I continue to be delighted with my Geolander GO15s fitted 3 years ago.
Since then I have only covered 15k miles ! Accurately measured fuel consumption has improved very slightly from 23.9 MPG to 24.0 MPG!
I have just measured tread depth and was astounded to see that all had in excess of 7mm of tread left:-

Just got a set of Geolander GO15s fitted today. Did you run yours at standard pressures (33F / 36R for D4) or raise them at all?

I was excited, as it’s available in 19” and people like other Goodrich tyres so much, but then I saw a couple of reviews that didn’t rate it for wet braking, so I’ve got Falken AT3WAs in the kitchen waiting for the wheels to be refurbed. Would be interested to see what people think of the Trail Terrains.

[quote="gstuart"]Saw this and thought it was quite a good review so wished to at least share the link
Hopefully it’s useful to someone
Nice find mate, I'd go for the Falkens if any but have just ordered GG AT3s for a new set of rims so hoping they are as good as my last set..I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Just fitted the Avon AX7s all round. Hadn’t looked at them before, but better reviews than the GG AT3s and better EU performance ratings for wet and noise2008 HSE Stornoway Grey

I'm a couple of thousand miles in to the Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure (https://www.goodyear.eu/en_gb/consumer/tires/wrangler_all-terrainadventure.WRLATADV.html) and so far I've been impressed. Not noisy, good road manners, seem good in the wet. Haven't been off road with them but they are the tyre LR specified for the new Defender so I'm guessing they'll be ok.
Only slight annoying thing is that the 255/55/19 doesn't have the Kevlar reinforcement (always nice to have a bit of protection) nor are they 3PMSF marked (unlike most of the rest of the sizes). No idea why that is.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

I’ve also gone the AX7 route- ordered 4 today (£600)
After my 3!!! punctures in the last edition of the Land Rover Party (this year "Land Party"), I'm looking for new tyres for my disco 3 (255/60 R18 112H).
My use is about 90% on road, but I want to enjoy my Disco on snow and when offroading. Not looking for extreme complications, but feel safe on slight mud and sharp rocks.
I don't know what to do...
The Grabber AT2 have worked fine for me, for more than10 years, although I know that it was known for its weak sidewalls. The drama came when I put my old Pirelli Scorpion for this Party...
Now I've been searching and I like the Nokian Outpost AT (discontinued since the Ukraine conflict), the Davanti Terratoura (no news of it, nowhere...), and the Toyo Open Country AT3. 3PSMF, too.
The Grabber AT3 seem to me too much asphaltic, comparing it with the Grabber AT2. I know that I almost drive 100 on road, but...
