| 100K is nothing to be worried about these days on a modern diesel. It will run for more than twice that without much trouble. Clutches and dual mass flywheels seem to be the achillies heel of modern d ... |

| I share your love for gg tyres I've had AT2, now on ATs and our VW Tiguan is running on GTs now. Can't fault their tyres and won't be looking anywhere else when time comes for replacement. |

| Looking good. Have you had At or AT2 before? How do they compare? (Suppose too early to tell really!) |

I run GG ATs on my Disco 2, very impressed with them, hardly seem to wear at all. Had AT2s fitted before that which were also excellent.
We have the GG GTs fitted to my wife's VW Tiguan in 235 50 18s ... |

I've ordered a D5, due to be built on the 10/3/17 but delivery and registration will be tight for the new VED.
