Compare Land Rover winter tyre fitting quotes from specialist garages

While Land Rover was founded in 1978, most people don't know that the Series I Land Rover actually predates the brand by 30 years, making it the second-oldest four-wheel drive vehicle in history. Land Rover is also closely linked to the Royal Family, providing the first bespoke ‘State Review' car in 1953.

The brand is associated with the spirit of adventure, and it's easy to see why; not only were its vehicles the first to cross the Darien Gap, but they were also supplied for "the Olympics of 4x4" - a competition in which teams of two would drive hundreds of kilometres, tackling the most challenging terrain, competing for a win in Land Rover cars.

Winter tyres perform optimally at temperatures below 7°C, making them ideal for use between November and April. They provide several benefits, from significantly shorter stopping distances on wet, snowy and icy roads to enhanced aquaplaning resistance and durability in cold weather.

Using season-specific tyres is the best way to ensure the safety of you and your passengers. All-season tyres are another option, but they don't perform as well as summer and winter tyres in their respective seasons.

Although having two sets of tyres is more expensive initially, it's a long-term investment that ensures you won't have to buy new tyres as often. This is because seasonal tyres have a longer lifespan when used correctly. Check out this guide for advice about the best winter tyres.
