Apologies if this has been answered before. Any advice as to best 195/80R15 tyres for SZ4 2018 model. Roads driven over are generally:
4 miles of forest track daily then up to 60 miles on A class roads. Current tyres suffer frequent punctures, mainly sidewalls, on the forest track. I need something with strong sidewalls, good on stone/gravel track with potholes and then normal A roads.
Thanks

For sidewall punctures, any LT (Light Truck) tire should be an improvement, so look for LT195/80R15 tires.

I'd like to suggest you consider going up to an LT215/75R15 but it's your choice.

Maybe consider some All Terrain tyres, they should be more puncture resistant.

215/75R15 will fit straight on and might give more options too. I'm running Maxxis Wormdrive AT's. I have been very impressed with them. On or off road. So much so that I put a set on the Ninety as well.

Yokohama Geolander AT's are available in standard size. I have them and they perform really well On the road and Off.
No noticeable difference in road noise or fuel consumption.

Thanks but we've tried General Grabber 215/75 R 15 before and they gave awful vibration on A roads at about 45mph

In my experience BFGoodrich tyres have the toughest construction without losing compliance and road manners. We've run several sets on various work vehicles and the only time we ever get punctures is from unavoidable things like nails. They also last for a very long time, and hold their value if you sell them as part worn.
