I have Latitude Cross on my Discovery TD5 and it seems a great tyre for my mainly road use, I would like them on the series but not cheap :shakeinghead

I run rangemasters on both motors at the moment. I wanted to keep to a 7.50 on the Carawagon and have something that looked fairly period. I went over to them on my daily 88" too, as it's mainly road miles. As Alex said, not great on wet grass and possibly the worst tyres I've had in the snow too... although the Carawagon took us all round Iceland on rangemasters no bother (all rock and sand though really) and we went to the Alps on a skiing holiday in the 88" (but I had chains and I needed to use them!)

The ones on the 88 haven't got much life left now and I'm thinking of changing to something else but I haven't yet decided. Again I'd like to stick to a 7.50 and if I run the same tyre on both motors it is more practical too.

Rangemasters on my 88. Got it stuck in the paddock at home when the grass was wet. They dug themselves into the clay underneath and did NOT want to come out.....though maybe the Latitudes wouldn't either!
Haven't used them on the road much, so can't really comment.

I'm definitely not buying another Land Rover.........Ahhhh, well.
