Hi Tim,

Well you were right I am finding the TDI 200 to be "a really nice motor". Had the 92 D1 for about 2 months now, love it. I need to get some new tyres as I have road tyres on her now.

I have the 16x7JH2x33 rims.

I was just going to put a post out to ask for advice on where I could get some good second hand tyres for her, when I saw your post.

Any advice, these Nexus any good... I do 80% road 20% fun.

Hi there Jay:)
I'm glad your enjoying the disco!

Thay are great tyres i recomend them for the price.
We have tested them in most terains and they seem to have held up fine.
try your local tyre dealer and see if they sell them.

It would be worth trying ebay,the market section on hear etc, second hand tyres do go cheap.
We paid $160 each for the nexons.

Hey Tim,

Yeah mate, that would be great.
Would you say you are running a light truck tyre Tim...?

I am looking at 80% road 20% sand and dirt. I am not a bells and whistles man I would rather industrial strength.

I have also read round tha traps that a "light truck" tyre is stronger ply wise..?
I do a lot of k's each week down to work so hwy manners are important.

I have NEXEN tyres on my M3. They were on it when I bought it.
I would never buy them willingly.
They are very cheap Korean tyres, and you will get what you pay for.
The ones on my M3 have poor grip, are dangerous in the wet, but do seem to satisfactorily hold the wheel off the road.
Before Nexen, I would look at Federal, Maxxis, or Nankang. Taiwanese tyres appear to have good quality. Or of course Kumho.
Nexen are very popular with the drifting crowd in the USA. Enough said.
They are the tyres that car dealers put on cars when they have to or teh tyres put on wheel /tyre deals on Ebay.

I looked around for a second hand set of A/T for my Disco for off road use. Picked up 4 Goodyear Wrangler A/T on E-Bay for $89 bucks .... for the lot. The tyres have plenty of life left in them and have so far performed brilliantly off road, even on the mud they go ok. The only place that lets them down a little is wet bitumen, just makes me drive a little more to the conditions anyway.

If you keep your eye out there are bargains to be had .......

Yes they are a 'LT' (light truck) construction and they would suit 80%road 20%sand and dirt fine!
and they are great on road with no noise.

NanKang Mudstars 33x12.5x15 $175 ea. fitted and balanced, very pleased with grip on and off-road, noise and longevity, it may pay you to go to 15" rims, 15" tyres are much cheaper than equivalent 16''s and bigger, Regards Frank.

Sorry if this sounds dumb....: Ok so you purchase some tyres on ebay - but which tyre centre is going to want to put them on for you if you haven't purchased one of their products?? Or do you do you put them on yourself??

Drive into tyre store, ask them to fit tyres you have, they fit them, then you pay them.............:eek:
