Netherlands 2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Buckingham Blue

Every summerday, +35 degrees, I guess so.

Also the fact that the spanish govenment was spending the European community money fast! Rolling Eyes
They replaced almost each and every intersection with a roundabout.(apart from creating an airport at every town that fancied one....)
Mostly small diameter roundabouts....so tight turns, so you realy feel the car weight shifting to the outside wheels causing the Range to eat the side walls.

Going to try the site sponsor.

Thanks

Sometimes it is not enough to do our best;
sometimes we must do what is required.

United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Orkney Grey

What is a good shop/internet site in the UK for good priced tyres?

As I understand it, this is a factor of the tyre's design. It has a shaped shoulder so that the shoulder has less apparent tread depth. As the requirement is for 1.6mm over the central 75% of the tread, this isn't a problem.

Apparently it looks worn but, in effect, isn't.

So Continental say, anyway. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
