Tires for 2006 RR Sport
 

Sorry to bother in this forum section but for some reason I was unable to post a thread in the Tire Section.

I currently have 275/40/20 Contienental Sport 4x4 tires on my RR Sport and it looks like I need to get replacement tires. The cost of like for like tires is crazy, at least $400 bucks per tire after you include balancing, tax and waste fees, about $1600 total.

What other tire brands are good to use on the RR Sport but are more reasonably priced. I don't plan to much off roading. If any other than snow, and maybe some dirt road driving. My driving will be mostly on the freeway. Thanks for reading and any suggestions.

nokian hakkapelitas work great.

oh and 400 for twenty inch tires is normal for no matter what vehicle you drive.

Remember the vehicle starts at 65k . Stuff won't be cheap like a ford.

Pirelli Scorpions
 

For some reason, Pirelli Scorpions were going for very cheap about 2 months ago. Not sure if they still are. I'm in Southern California. I had a set of 4 for my 22" wheels for $195 each, after mount, balance and tax. $210 a piece seemed typical when I called around for pricing. I think the size I got was 305/40 22. I imagine 20's would be cheaper. Stay away from Falkens any tire brands you've never heard of and any house brand tires.

Tire Rack has a couple choices for $150 like the General grabber UHP and the Yokohama Prada

stick to the OEM's if at all possible. cheaper rubber can significantly affect snow and ice traction. afaik the oems- even the Y rated 20's appear to be approved for the snowy stuff per land rover (since the all terrain system seems to compensate). if you absolutely have to go cheaper stick with a good well known brand.

make sure the tire has an XL rating- very important- and also make sure it has an H speed rating or higher (130 mph) mainly because of the stability specs/capacity an H or higher rated tire provide--not necessarily because you actually plan to do 130 mph.

finally, if you do not go with the OEM Y rated rubber, unless you NEVER plan to drive in snow or ice or sand, it needs to be an all-season rated tire.

thanks for the feedback. I decided to stick to the OEM tires.

you definitely did the right thing. good man.
