The discovery needed two tyres ( on the back )... I chose / recommended Nexen as opposed to the Pirelli Scorpions on the front. It was also recommended that the new tyres always go on the back
The Nexens were about £145 as opposed to £180 for the Pirellis , son they werent really cheap options and apparently fitted to Mitsubishi, Porsche Cayenne etc.
basically the vehicle drove like jelly over
60 mph - really unsafe. I checked twice that they had actually fitted the correct size - they had. I am aware of the rolling circumference size differences being disastrous ( winding up the gearbox / diff) for the gearbox if they are different to the front tyres , but other than checking the sizes are identical how would you know ?
Yesterday I jacked the OSR and the wheel " unwound" as soon as it left the ground which made me suspicious of wind up again....
Cant find any recommendations on the LR website and nothing to say they have to be the same manufacturer all around.
As soon as I dug deep ( yesterday) and had two Pirelli Scorpions fitted to the back , all was back to normal ie stable, safe drive
Anyone else had this ? Do you think I have any comeback to the fitter of the Nexens ?
TIA
