New boots
Just had a new set of Goodyear Wrangler Duratec’s fitted at Costco and they look great and are no noisier than the std tyres that were on

Chunky tread
How do they feel on the road? Anything noticable compared to what you had? They look a good chunky tread pattern.Discovery 4 3.0 HSE 2010 year. I like it a lot. Now with winch 😂

In all honesty, there is no more road noise and the ride is about the same although they are set to a slightly higher pressure than the old ones - they were set for a light load (according to the dash) so seemed to roll a bit where as these don't and are set to 33 psi front and 37 psi at the back "UNDERSTEER" ---is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.

They do either a 255/70/18 or 265/60/18 or at least that is what is said on the Goodyear site here
Not sure if either are available in the UK though "UNDERSTEER" ---is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.

They are in 19s in the UK.
For some stupid unknown reason, you can't get them in 18s in the UK.
Great tyre, been running them over 2 sets since January 2013. Will be moving onto my 3rd set before winter time.
Looking for when Costco do them on the deal again and will go for them.
Rotate them front to back every 5000 or so. Helps massively with noise as they wear.

The Costco deal had them fitted for £105 or thereabouts if you got 4.
