When they are worn on the edges beware if turning tightly in the wet as they do have a tendencey to lose grip on wet tarmac ( so ease off speed on tight turns). the other major issue i had with the set i inherited when I bought the car was the walls cracked and could have delaminated (I have seen this on a G4 disco 3) possibly as they are reinforced and a tough compound if they a stretched though over inflation and under inflation over a period of time they break down--keep an eye on the inside walls I caught mine in good time. (I have a set of MTRs on rims just for off road, shows and poor weather but don't use them much) I now run on Good year HP all weathers which are excellent in all road conditions ( also brilliant in snow i use them in the alps regularly in conditions like we are experiencing now and great- I use chains if slowing is becoming a problem - more damage to vehicles here through people thinking they are Ok cos the vehicle has great traction ( not much good if you cant stop effectively!!) MPG is greatly improved with these. So i would recommend having the 2 set option but do check for angled blocky wear on the MTR's do have fun kind regards David Tango Discovery 2 Western Australia setup vehicle 2003:w00t: My other toy is a Discovery 4 SDV6 SEtech previous toys -Freelander HSE TD4 2005; Range Rover Vogue soft top 3.5 Disco 1 300TDi N reg with red hairdresser wheels!
