We aim to give Land Rover owners a source of parts to keep their vehicles on the road, farm or trails across the UK.
WHEN SELECTING YOU NEXT TYRES & WHEELS, SET OUT YOUR GOALS & REQUIREMENTS FIRST.
ROAD TYRES ARE GREAT FOR 80% ROAD AND 20% LIGHT OFF ROAD AND GRASS LAND. MAXIMUM FUEL EFFICEIENCY AND LOW NOISE LEVELS BUT THESE WILL REDUCE YOU VEHICLE’S ABILITY OFF ROAD.
ALL TERRAIN TYRES ARE DESIGNED FOR 50% ROAD AND 50% OFF ROAD INCLUDING GREENLANING AND OVERLAND TREKKING. IDEAL FOR GETTING BETTER OFF ROAD PERFORMANCE BUT STILL ALLOW GOOD ROAD HANDLING, TOWING AND NOISE LEVELS.
MUD TERRAIN TYRES ARE SELECTED FOR 20% ROAD AND 80% OFF ROAD FOR THE SERIOUS VEHICLES SPENDING THE MAJORITY OF TIME OFF ROAD AND IN HEAVY MUD AND WET CONDITIONS. THE DOWNSIDE OF SUCH TYRES ARE HIGHER FUEL ECONOMY, ROAD NOISE AND REDUCED HANDLING ON TARMAC SURFACES.

THE 75 IS THE HEIGHT OF THE SIDE WALL OF THE TYRE, WHICH TAKES A PERCENTAGE OF THE WIDTH OF THE TYRE, IN THIS CASE 75% OF 265MM.
THE R16 IS THE DIAMETRE OF THE RIM THE TYRE IS DESIGNED TO FIT ON MEASURED IN INCHES, IN THIS EXAMPLE 16 INCHES.
