Tyres on TD5

[loopy111]

I have searched the threads and read endless material on tyres on Disco's and Def. can't find any useful info

I have a 2001 TD5 16 inch factory rims.

I tow a caravan.

Has anyone got any suggestions with brands/type of tyres I can fit.

Need tyres in about 1 month.

Would appreciate any comments.

I run Cooper ATRs 245/70/16s. No complaints

I also run Cooper ATR's, 235/70....my second set and get great klms with no probs at all to date. (2000 D2 Td5).

You will no doubt get stacks of opinions, recommendations and justifications for a number of types. To a large extent it's a personal choice on what sort of driving you plan to do and for how long etc. No definitive answer otherwise there wouldn't be such a large choice available.

D2 or Defender?

My father and I both run Coopers (ST?) 235/85 and have found that they chip like mad with chunks of rubber falling off all over the place.

For this reason I would not buy them again.. we are pretty careful drivers and don't abuse them. For us, the Cooper experience has been rather disappointing.

If it is for a deefer, I'd see if you can find some General Grabbers (the OE tyres).

Its going to depend on whether its a Disco or Defender and the use it will get. If its a Defender and is going off road atall I would get 255/85 r16 BFG KM2's

Im running BFG AT's on big red, 60K Km + and still over 50%

no problems except for the one I put a nick in the sidewall of.

I'm not sure what BFG means.
