Thread: MICHELIN Latitude Tour HP compared to standard Wrangler tyres

On which vehicle was the scare?

2008 Disco 3 2.7TD.
Somehow I have lost my signature from bottom of my posts and can not see how to get it back

Have put ATR's Pirelli's on and have 40000km on them and have never been happy with the ride, handle great in dry and very quiet but like others had a very scary moment at 100km/h with 3 ton van on back in wet.
So looking at replacements. Do not do heaps of off road mainly heavy towing.

Did you exceed the tow weight limit, your D3 weighs lees than 3 tons?

I had Latitudes on my Disco 1,would have them again any day. Pat

A Disco described would weigh more than 3 tonnes with gear and people etc. And the Disco is rated to pull 3.5 tonnes.

Math marginal, not a big enough weight gap on wet road conditions for any tyre

How about with no van in tow? No ATRs for me again.

68,000 with wranglers? Seriously? I was flat out getting 10,000 on first set which were repalced under warranty and got about 25,000 out of second set.

They were noisy and handling was ok but not great.
