Thinking of putting winter tyres on the Landcruiser this year as 4 wheel drifts in a 2.5 tonne blancmange are a little unsettling... only problem is that it calls for 113H (1150kg / 130mph) tyres, and the winter ones are all lower speed rated than that... any ideas?

Should be a fun phonecall to the insurance call centre morons...

Good call, I hadn't thought to check the handbook or that the specs would be different for summer / winter tyres. I know they fit the tyres I was looking at as OEM in Canada on similar models so should be fine.
