I changed to Goodyear F1 Wranglers. Much better than the Conti's....and they look pretty cool as well. |

If I remember, mine came with Wranglers from the factory and I then swapped onto Contis (because they were available and the Wranglers weren't) then went to Pirelli Scorpions I think. All that in 26k.... |

Crumbs S, when mine went into Charles Hurst's after 21000 miles there was still 6mm minimum all round on the original Contis- that's even after it had been offroad. You must have been doing track days or lending your car to J Clarkson or the Stig to do wheelies in it to have got through all that rubber. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it 2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced 2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW |

Didn't think of that, but I doubt DR makes much difference on motorways and fast A roads awash with rain S, only when going round bends and offroad if my understanding of it's operation is correct. DR is basically computer controlled ,hydraulically operated and disengagable antiroll bars or is that the Active Roll Mitigation? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Yes, I think that's ARM.... DR affects only the suspension I think.... I'm sure someone will tell us we're both wrong |
