Looking for tires for my Rangerover, what tire is close to the now discontinued BF Goodrich Trac-edge?

Dunlop Radial Rover R/T seem to be a popular replacement.

The BFG Commercial T/A Traction is BFG's new replacement of the Trac Edge, I'm told. A guy I know at a local tire shop who's used the Trac Edge on his work truck said if anything they are superior to the Trac Edge.

I haven't used them myself so I can't give you a first-hand testimonial, though...

cheers, Dave

Thanks I heard the comerical trac-edges are made from a much harder rubber, they wear better, but don't perform as well.
