It doesn't come in correct speed rating for FFRR so not really suitable. Only off-road tyre with suitable speed rating is from Cooper. "YYS" G4 FFRR

Yeh you are right. Their speed rating is far too low. I was also thinking about the vredestein wintrac xtreme s, they do have I believe the correct speed rating. I have used the xtremes on my volvo s60 for a good few years now in winter and they are brilliant. I realise of course they are not an off road tyre but I would imagine could do what we wanted. |

I have Duratrac's on my 03 G4. They are a fantastic replacement for the MTR that is no longer made. As Stu has pointed out they dont conform to the advised speed rating that is given by tyre manifacturing websites. Land Rover have gone quiet on recommendations for speed ratings on tyres as they offer most tyres depending on your requirement.... most only see the road on rangies and therefore need a rating capable of top speed!

The Duratracs come in 2 seed ratings, neither are good enough.... Also are you aware that after the 1st Nov many more aggressive tyres can no longer be bought by dealers as they will not comply with new noise level requirements for tyres..... Buy soon! Cooper LTZs are available and correct H speed and 111 load rated for 19 inch

Hi. Thanks for the I found. I was not aware of that no. The cooper's look good but I think I maybe swaying towards the vredestein winter tyres, we do more road driving than off road, very little off road really. |

I guess looking at this you can pick what you want... And as Land Rover shy away from a speed rating as you should pick a tyre for purpose... check out the law acording to The AA and Kwik-fit.

I used to fit Wintrac Extremes on my D4 every winter.

Duratracs are my winter tyres and I have been very happy with them. They are a LR homologated tyre for the 322 which is reassuring and helpful as regards insurance, I don't think Cooper or General are LR homologated and I recall a thread on here about LTZ sidewalls cracking.

Going by the Goodyear chart the 255/55R19 Duratrac is S (112 mph) which is plenty for me, clearly for users in Germany who want to do 135 they will need to choose something else. You do need to take it a bit easier but I accept that.

Hi. I have chosen to get a set of vredestein wintracs, driving will misting be on the road and very little getting in and out of the field. I have used vredestein winter tyres on my volvo for a few years now and have been very pleased with them. Saying that, I am trying the goodyear ultragrips this winter as they came top of the which test report.

Just fitted a set of Cooper LTZs 255/55 R19..... they certainly look the part and no real noise difference. "YYS" G4 FFRR
