Result: Would you buy again? Definitely
Comment:
Bought these to replace the OEM Goodyear wranglers as they were avalaible, price and reviews were good, and the Goodyear’s wear wasn’t up to scratch in my opinion.
They didn’t transform the handling of the car, but it’s a 7 seat giant of a SUV and so not too sporty in the corners anyway. The grip in both dry and wet wasn’t significantly worse than the Goodyear’s, and probably a little better in all but dry conditions.
Had a few days use on snow / ice on treated and untreated roads, and combined with the electric wizardry of the Discovery, seemed to cope a lot better than the 1.8mm Goodyear’s i’d Just taken off. Whether the reed depth made more of an impact than brand i’m Not entirely sure.
Seem to be lasting well after 12,000m
I certainly would buy them again.
