Duratrac- excellent! http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....ngler+DuraTrac

I can't wait to hear how they are in the snow... That's my biggest concern. Our road gets 1-2 feet and is rarely plowed, and our driveway is even worse. I have my driveway cleared, but it drifts in hours.

Plus... I want to be invincible

Hey guys, sorry to be such a Ninja poster... hehehe... I am very excited to get some new rubber on my Disco

I've fallen head over heals for those DuraTracs.

LAST QUESTION: Do I need "E" rated tires, or is "C" enough?

I would like E, but not if it makes it a bear to ride in.

THANKS!

Well, the reviews on those DuraTracs were just unreal...

ORDERED! I went with the C 6-ply.

$950 out the door. I could have got them for $720 online after shipping (for 5 of them), but for $200 more I'll have a warranty and everything else.

SWEEEET, thanks AK!

Hahaha, I don't think Mandy would be interested in that... though her holding the M14 naked in front of my Disco would definitely pretty much allow me to die a happy man...

The problem of course is that when you ask your wife to pose with your vehicle, you are, to her, acknowledging that you find them equally as appealing as the other. Where we God-Blessed appreciators of Land Rovers know in our hearts that to allow a girl to pose nude with our Rovers is nothing short of our finest compliment to them, they see it as the deepest insult-

-an insult which may leave you without a wife- or much worse yet, a keyed Disco.

O', may the world someday understand the Disco owner. We are not snobs- And we are not prideful. We simply want to combine the pinnacle of our experience of God's green world: women, and the pinnacle of human engineering, that is the Rover.

Does this make us bad men, deserving of slaps to the face? I think not...
