Poor quality tyres

Hi guys,Just had my 07 sport delivered and noticed it has been fitted with very poor quality tyres, they are Accelera Iota, and i dont know how a main Land Rover dealer could fit these to a car! have heard the a very poor in the wet. will go back to dealer, but thought i would ask you guys what you think 08, TD V8 HSE, Stornaway Grey, Ivory Leather

Hey sorry I dont really know about theses tyres apart from they are cheap at only 89.00 per tyre. Youre best off waiting for V8 Andy to reply. He knows a fair bit about tyres

Oh and welcome to the forum

The accelera are ok as long as you don't try cornering the same as you would with premium tyres.They will not last as long but you get what you pay for,you couldn always take em off & replace with pirrelli scorpion zero's which are a good tyre,i have them on mine & not had any probs with them.

are these new tyres the dealer fitted as part of the deal? or what was on the car when you purchased it?

Unless you stated that you would buy the car with a well know brand of new tyres and they haven't done that then i don't think they would be liable to swap them FOC,

so if your the one thats going to be paying then you might as well run them, see what you think and shop around for replacements

Hi, i never went to see the car before i purchased it as would of been a 400 mile round trip. so just trusted them to deliver it to me, never thought to mention tyres over the phone as was from an official dealer. will call them and let them know!

ps, does anyone know if there is supposed to be a cover over where the tow bar would be fitted as there is a gap... 08, TD V8 HSE, Stornaway Grey, Ivory Leather

Dont really think the quibble thing will work ! tyres is tyres........if the chap didnt ask what tyres where on it and didnt go and view then the dealer has the right to do nothing ! If the advert said it had good Pirelli's on it and it's turned up with these others then they should be changed. 08 2.7 RRS "S"

2005 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Santorini Black

i think it's worth checking these things ahead of the deal. In 2009 I part'exd my 57 plate with Stormer replica wheels and no brand tyres to Jaguar (I did mention it to them and offered the original Supercharged's but they weren't fussed). Recently I saw my old car being sold by Land Rover again and it still had the replica wheels on and probably the new owner is none the wiser.
