Thread: Seat covers and Tyres

I have previously used Tyreright in Osborne Park as they do all of Barbagallo’s tyre work so do know Land Rovers. My last alignment was really good and the went to a lot of effort with multiple test drives to get it running nicely (I had an mix of older fronts and new rears so it did make it harder than with fresh tyres all round). I did put it into TTM beforehand anyhow. I was happy. I buy my tyres elsewhere as I use the Maxxis 980 LT. I recall the alignment was a little under $100.

Far out. I can't believe I'm about to put this out to the wider internet for "forever archiving", but it *never* occurred to me to separate the purchase and fitting of the tyres with the alignment.
I've been doing it wrong all these years! Well, probably not. Most of the tractors in my past could/can be aligned in the driveway with a laser pointer, gaffa tape and a tape measure. The D3 is a little more demanding.

Haha. I did many an alignment on the toy cars (to get it to the lasers) using a piece of string, two sewing pins and a ruler. Get the toe-in close enough and you can get anywhere for a proper alignment.

Has anyone tried the LR neoprene car seat covers on this site?

Huh. A seat cover on-line broker. Given they don't have the correct front seat shape for my D3 I'm not particularly confident.

I'm about to order a set of sheepskin front covers from Eagle Wools in WA.
Far from cheap, but tailor made, and amazing responses to my questions so far.
Sheepskin Seat Covers | Car Seat Covers Perth
I have visited them in Perth in the past and been really happy with what I've purchased.
The new covers will even have the Land Rover logo on them (but don't tell JLR!!)

Like DiscoJeffster I used Tyrerite Osborne Park the last time I had an alignment done. Far and away better than the crowd I used in Vic Park once (and never again).... if they took 10 mins doing it I'd be suprised. And the tyres still wore. Tyrerite took their time and included TTM mode for under a 100 bucks.
I've also got Maxxis 980 LT on now but don't like them. They're not wearing well, 38 kay on them and I reckon we'll be lucky to get 50K. Plus they give a 2 year warranty for repairs/replacement..... and then deny any claim if they're used off road!
I did claim for a tyre which incidentally had a different (read earlier) manufacture date than the other 4 because of a porous case leaking air through it. In the end they offered a replacement for a 100 bucks and I accepted that.
When they're worn out I'll get tuffant 18" as there's a better range available for them.

Mine are wearing better than the Coopers LTZ I’ve also used but yeah, I won’t get 50k out of mine. That said I consider 50k ok. That’s a few years for me so by then my tyres tend to get hard and lose their road grip somewhat. I don’t like the noise of them. As
I have one set of wheels, it’s a constant compromise.
