Do Range Rovers come with Mastercraft Tires?

[Warstud]

The other day I saw a Range Rover wearing some Mastercraft tires. Are they factory tires? I thought Mastercraft was a budget tire.

IIRC Michelin are the factory OE.

Sister and b-i-l have a new Range Rover. It has Pirelli Scorpions.

There probably are a few manufacturers who are OE suppliers. HIGHLY unlikely that Mastercraft is.

 

[MattPersman]

I haven’t seen any make with master craft tires as OE. Maybe one day but most are using at least main stream makers not like master craft who is made by copper

Probably better than Ying Yang or Nankang tires.

I doubt that Range Rovers only came with OE Michelin tires. Typical OE tire brands are Michelin, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Pirelli, etc. Mastercraft is an aftermarket brand made by Cooper, so those tire were not OE.

The Range Rover owner using budget tires? can't afford top tier brand tires? Ironic, isn't it?

When you spend $3000 or $4000 for one, you ain't gonna blow another $1000 on Michelin's.

If you can afford a $90,000+ vehicle, you can afford Michelins, Pirellis, or Continentals.

 

[Blinker]

They probably come with them on used car lots.

I don't believe Cooper provides any OEM tires, certainly not under the Mastercraft brand.

You'd be surprised. Used to have all sorts of people riding in fairly new Mercedes, BMW's, Jaguar's, etc. come into the shop wearing "budget" tires. A lot of people bite off more than they can chew with an expensive luxury car. They may be able to barely make those big payments, and they usually don't consider the maintenance and upkeep that's not posted in the sticker price on the window.

Who said it was new? 15 year old RR's on their 3rd or 4th owners are $3000 or $4000.

Warstud (the OP) implied it was recently new enough, hence the question about mastercraft been an OEM supplier.

Looks like Mastercraft are made by Cooper. Click on the corporate site link.

I think the performance focus (RS, ST??) came with Cooper Zeons at one point.
Only time I've ever seen Coopers as OEM.

 

[2EHA]

the fat range rover and the sport have looked pretty much the same since 2013 so it’s easy to be confused

Yup, and it was a pain in the rear getting replacements through Ford's tire program.

 

[MattPersman]

Some owners take there second or third hand euro lux vehicle to crummy aftermarket shops trying to save money and get those type of tires when they are there

 

[wings&wheels]

I believe RR uses Continental pretty heavily as well as Michelin and Pirelli.

I'd guess the Mastercrafts are on an old one that someone bought cheap and threw budget tires on. Nothing wrong w/ that....saves $ for the inevitable upkeep...
