    Exactly! The name alone might make it worth a set.

    Funny you mention Firestone, as I saw a set today and came back and googled it. What a bizarre tread pattern. I couldn't quite decide if it was truly a better mousetrap or just a gimmick.

    Goodyear makes the Wrangler All Terrain "Adventure" in my preferred 215/85 size. It's a lighter duty tire, and of course the name is all wrong, but I might give those a whirl. Interestingly, I have a new Defender on order and that's the tire they build it with.

    Thanks again for your help!

      The tires I'm dying to get a hold of are actually Continental HSO Sand tires, but they aren't available stateside.


      The later Range Rovers and early Discovery's had a similar tire if memory serves. I believe it was a Michelin XS or XMS or something like that...

      Maybe it was the Camel Trophy Defenders that used the Michelin XCL I'm remembering.

            I bought one almost exactly like that 1971 IIA, but the frame was too far gone.

                Hello,
                I've been away from Rovers North since the 90s, great to be back! Picked up a 1965 Series IIa and time to put it back together. Looking forward to following the treads and getting on the trails.

                  Good Day,
                  I am a new Series owner, we purchased "Clare" about a month ago and I am working to install a number of items the previous owner had purchased and not gotten to yet. "Clare" is a RHD 1983 109 Country Wagon, she was imported from England about eight years ago. The story is when imported she was the last of 16 registered 109 Country Wagons on the road. I have installed the RoamerDrive that was NIB along with the new finned Transfercase cover. I am trying to work through the middle-row seat belt installation, as he had purchased the two shoulder belts and the middle lap belt. I will be looking for some photo help confirming where the lower outside angled brace gets installed, the online photos I have found don't really show how close the brace when covering the folding seat lever. I also seem to have the original angled seat belt shoulder brackets behind the C-pillar. It has only one hole though so I am trying to figure out where to mount the retraction mechanism.
