Spoke with my dealer re MTR's [for you guys].
Said he could get them [I thought they were in short supply].
255/55/R19 for £120 + Vat.
Is this of interest to anyone? slowly re-building my gallery after the wipe out !!!!

They say they can get them, but Can They  Try and order one and see what happens. Remember there is no 'i' in disco3.co.uk

AndewS - He made the call to his supplier when I was there and told there were around 400 available.
It's not my size of rim, so no need for me to order any.
Rogue - If £120 + Vat is no good. I wondered why a set of 5 used sold recently for £710 on e-bay [TFC was chasing]? slowly re-building my gallery after the wipe out !!!!

ronp - it is a good price - not saying anything different.
However not three weeks ago i brought 4 from Hereford LR @£111+vat each , i got them mounted onto my rims for free and balanced for a £5. 
However if HLR have sold out/can't get anymore then i will be sending you a PM for details as i need a spare, as my local tyre places can't get any and the ones that can are horrendously expensive.

I just got 2 fitted at AJS 4x4 in Tadworth Surrey. They have 3 more in stock but a little more expensive than other suppliers. Slowly building a silver G4 RRS!

I'm running Scorpions at present but will be after MTR's as the Pirelli's wear out. There's quite a bit of wear left as yet but will come knocking on your door Ron when they do wear out. I have been quoted stupid figures for these tyres, anything up to a grand!!! Will I get my rod in?

RonP - I am looking for some 19" Offroad tyres that can go on either the D3 or RRS. Looks like my only option is the Goodyear MTR 255/55/R19. Does that have the correct load rating for a D3 (111V) as I believe there was some concern here a while back about some offroad tyres not been adequately rated for the heavy beast that is the D3.
Which dealer were you refering to. I am in Newcastle area so guess that North Yorkshire can't be that far away .....? Disco 3 TDV6HSE auto

Smarticus - I also believe that if you fit the MTR's on the RRS 19 rims theere is a problem with rubbing. Best fit them on D3 rims. Slowly building a silver G4 RRS!

I thought AndrewS ran RRS rims on the Red Pearl with MTR's - didn't see any sign of rubbing at Boughrood over Easter - but i stand to be corrected. Looking at his gallery they do look like RRS rims
