Last week I was on a teleconference with Land Rover Australia - specifically one of their Senior Managers and their most Senior Technician.

I have a couple of ongoing problems, which I'll detail in a much longer post, and Land Rover are now blaming the tyres. At the same time on the call, Land Rover Australia said that I shouldn't use the All Terrain tyres and questioned why I had them/needed them.

it annoys me (so god knows how your feeling) that LR can start blaming things that they know will not cause the problem, but start using it as an excuse to get out of doing a proper fix

When LR start recommending you shouldn't fit offroad tyres to their vehicles you know something is up.

what a complete joke. We should challenge LR to come out on a proper trip, involving any combination of wet mud/clay/sharp rocks/serious climbs/decents and see just how long a set of standard road tyres last. The side walls on the standard road tyres are as weak as a wet paper back and they clog up quicker than a dutchman when the soil/clay gets wet.

It may be down to the fact that the AT or MT/R tyres don't have a high enough speed rating on them and that LR are just covering their corporate rear.

My issues are speed related, but nowhere need the speed limits of the tyres or the car.

What a load of bs! Clearly they think the customers are idiots, hope LR isn't being run by guys who have no clue about what off roading is or what the heritage of the company is.
