I know this has probably been covered countless time already....
I recently bought my 1st Land Rover - a Disco 1 (build date 4/94), currently running Federal Couragia M/T tyres on sunnie rims. I would like to switch to something with better road manners while still being able to handle a bit of dirt and some mud... something closer to a 50/50 or 60/40 ratio of road to mud (the Federals are about 20/80 in favour of mud I think...).
Any suggestions? I'm looking for something with good road manners & grip as it's my daily drive, but I still drive off-road a bit (nothing too serious).
I'm also hoping that the change in rubber will improve my fuel efficiency a bit (currently around 12l/100k). Any info would be appreciated,
Cheers

Hey mate,

This has been covered HEAPS! Do a search down the bottom of the page. Don't use the one at the top, it's useless.

You will find literally hundreds of results relating to tyres. Try that first. Please!

this subject has been covered a lot and there is lots of personal preference, I have Maxxis Bighorns (245/75R16) on my disco, as my daily driver and they seem to work fine on the highway and off road.

congratulations on getting your rover, just remember the search function is your friend

I have had a great run with Goodyear Duratracs, I would say they are half way between an AT and a muddie.
