Summer tyres

Post by redwood » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:33 am

I have two sets of wheels for my D3 and am trying to source Nokian WR 3 for the winter set.
But does anyone have recommendations for the "summer" set? I don't do off road but do live in the country where some of the tracks get muddy at times, other than that it is normal road use. I'm in the process of renovating a barn and tow an Ifor Williams plant trailer for the regular trips to builders merchants etc.

Yep, doesn't need anything more than road tyres. Downside of the Scorps is low mileage, GG GT might be a different option. What size?
