New tyres, 7.50x16

[A.J.M]

With the 80” finally getting a new garage home and the start of new parts being ordered.

I’m going to need to change the well work and perished SAT 7.50 tyres before it can go back on the road.

This seems to have thrown up a minefield of tyres and various reports of what’s good, bad and down right awful.

Car will be rebuilt for RTV competition use and will be road legal so I can drive it there and back.
It’s also going to get taken out for trips, fun days and a rather ambitious road trip of nearly 900 miles next June with mates.

So.

What’s a decent tyre that can deal with muddy conditions but not fall over when shown a damp corner. ( I live in central Scotland, we get lots of rain, and mud )

I don’t have a set budget as it will be next year before I buy tyres.

Have plenty of other bits to buy first before the tyres but I do like to do some research and get opinions of others.

Most of my mates run Insa Turbos on their 90s and they all do ok, it then comes down to the different suspension set ups etc.
Bar one mate who has a set of Zirellis which piss all over everything.

You are right on the sizes, I don’t want to ruin the turning circle with silly sized tyres but I’m also not against changing the wheel rims to get different ones if needed for a decent tyre that won’t ruin the turning.

How good or bad are the fedimas then?

What’s the difference for Partner to Extreme evolution?

They seem to be similar prices.

What do you use them for?

Plus on what car?

It needs to do stuff like this.

But also drive on the road there and back.
As I don’t have a trailer, nor can I store one till I get on the property ladder.
Car is stored at my gf’s parents house currently...

Some tyres to think on.
My mates just bought a tomcat and it’s came with 11 spare tyres, 5 of which, look like a diamond tyre.
He’s going to send pictures over.

I run with the Scottish Land Rover owners club.

The car is from the “old guard” of the club from back in the day.

This was it back in its glory days, hasn’t been on the road since 1994 though.

Fedima Partners could be an ideal shout.
Shall have more research at them.
