Tires in Europe for G500

Hello,
I have been looking for tires for a G500 in France (for my family) and only found the Goodyear Wrangler on several web sites.
Size: 265/60R18, speed index H, all season. Will be mostly road use, replacement for the OEM Yokohama.
What have European members been using on this forum and where do you buy them?

Thanks in advance,
Michel

There is supposed to be an excellent Yokohama tire available in Europe that is more agressive than the standard Yoko. TH, who used to post here frequently, gave them very high marks. Sadly, they are not available in the US.

People who want R18 size are also using Dunlop GrandTrek AT2 instead the OEM tires, but my tire shop does not sell them.

Re: Tires in Europe for G500

I believe this site will have the tyre you want, at a decent price.
http://www.123pneus.fr/
It is a german co that buys them in bulk and ships them thru internet sales, and their stock is impressive.
I used the UK site and recommend it highly: www.mytyres.co.uk
but I think you will find the French site caters to your side of the channel.

I live in France, around me in the Limoge area of the Limousin the choice is endless, It is a big 4x4 area because of the "Chasse"and generally a good area for offroading with mountains, forests and lakes you should nt have much problem getting what you want except if you drive a vovlo as my friend does, it took "cinz jour" (15 days) to get tyres for it, I think the french company was being perdantic personally
