Road Tyres
Most of my driving is done to work and back - A Roads and Motorways. Any advice appreciated for best road tyres. Currently running Twisted Progressive suspension with 18" alloys with BF ATs 285/65/18 - or are these best option.

Very subjective. If it drives well, why not...

The BFG A/T is in my opinion a fantastic tyre, long life, good levels of grip, predictable in the dry or wet, reasonably quiet and is great for mild off roading Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

I've posted it before, but you might find this interesting:

Personally I'm a fan of skinnier tyres than you've got there, but each to their own.

Thanks for link. Will check out costs & sizes of the better road tyres as 95% of driving (15,000 this year) is on road.
