ATTURO TYRES - Anybody have these tyres or know anything about them? At £90 each they are a very good price, clearly a buget tyre but are they any good I wonder?

I wouldn't bother if I was you buster, I have 2 cheap tyres on the front. They are absolute pants! Ruens the handling. Mine currently have 5mm tread and I am going to change them in the next couple of weeks for some vredestein wintraks at double the price. Cheap tyres are false economy especially with the weight of the rrs its like driving on balloons.

Thanks Shepp. I think you might be right!

Trouble with me I just hate to pass up a bargin!

Think I'll go the whole 9 yards and get either the General Grebbers UHP or the Toyo Proxes Cheers Laurence.

Check out the Hankook too - £130 a corner fitted and excellent tyres IMHO. FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

Bradders you mention Hankook fitted for £130 per corner!
Can you please advise where i can have this done.
Best i've seen is £147 mail order.
I'm near Leeds too...
Thanks for any info

I put them on the X5 in Mud and Snow format for the winter and to be honest for the price I paid as a half winter tyre they did remarkably well. Grip was quite good, def didnt slip in 8" of snow and going up the dirt road to a small fishing place we go to they ploughed up it in the snow also.

I did about 4000 miles on mine and to be honest they're sitting round the back of the shed with maybe 2mm of the rears and about 1mm off the fronts!!

For the price they did the job for me for the wee spell I needed them over the standard BMW summer tyres. Current, M135i in Estoril Blue with more extras than the cast of Ben Hur.

535d m-sport Platinum grey and a few extras.... Gone

X5 3.0 sd in Space Grey, 20's, Dynamic Pack, Memory Pack, Media Pack, Tow Pack, Rear DVD, Panoramic Sunroof, Steps, 7 Seat Pack, Reversing Camera with moving lines, programmable park heat, etc etc etc - Gone

Range Rover Sport Santorini, privacy, dvd, towpack GONE!!!

Don't go for the Toyo's as they are very soft compound & wont last long.

Andy. Gone,,TDV8 arctic frost,black leather,colour coded handles,rear entertainment,sunroof.
1980 Rolls Royce,shadow 2 in white.
Gone 07/57 TDV8 santorino,black leather.chrome handle's/mirror's.
Gone 02/52 FFRR vogue.

I used Toyo Proxes on previous X5's and they were great.
We put a set on the RRS last year and finally took them off when half worn.
We had vibration through the steering which could not be cured by balancing. Higher the speed, worse the vibration, so not indicative of a balancing problem anyhow.
It went to the dealer twice to investigate and they found nothing.
Finally, on the third visit, they told me that the RRS was not designed to run on directional tyres, and they would look no more until it had a set of non-directional tyres fitted.
I put a set of OEM Continentals back on, and it transformed it.
I was rather sceptical of the directional tyres bit, but unless this was a series of coincidences, I can say that directional tyres (well Toyo's anyhow) do not work on a RRS.
Possibly it was a faulty tyre, but in totally 5 sets on the X5's I never had a faulty tyre.
I did send them back to Toyo to check, and they found nothing wrong with the tyres.
An expensive mistake. 2008 RRS TDV8 HSE in Atacama Sand with all the bits.
2004 FFRR Vogue TD6 in Silver with even more bits.
1999 Discovery V8i for really bad weather

Mmmmm what size do BFG all terrains come in ???? They last forever

They do, I have them on the 90, but they are noisy as hell, and feel like you are driving on a lego road, very good tyres, but not really suitable for the rrs. To aggressive looking for the rrs design.

for the money they cost Atturo tyres really arent all that bad to be fair. we do quite a few of them in both 285/35/22 and 265/35/22 sizes.

general opinion of them is quite high. we also do achiles as well and again for a budget tyres they aint too bad either.

toyos arent renound for theyre long life and do wear very easily.

I put some of Atturo's on for light offroad and sand driving. compared to the conti's they have been great.
