We went looking with our daughter last week for second hand ones. Not many around and for the prices they're asking we ended up at Southern Land Rover where she had a choice of 5 90's. One of the 5 was the demo one which is the twin of this one. She picks it up next Friday. That's 3 Defenders in the family.Quote:

Yeah, I had requested the Goodyear MTR's from factory but was told in no uncertain terms that they wouldn't do it on a 90, only a 110.
The MT/R with Kevlar is much stronger than the standard MTR and has a very different tread pattern. Designed for a rock crawling and spinning in thick mud re the spaced out lugs on the shoulders. Lot more expensive too :(Quote:

Looks like I did good then :mrgreen: The dealer was going to do an order of a 110 with the MTR's for stock at the same time as mine and then swap the tyres over before delivery - may be they just upgraded them independently?Quote:

Yes you did great, I think must have been independent as don't know of the factory putting them on. Pretty darn quiet considering how aggressive they are. I'm getting a set of 285's and going for it after running the 265s for a few years on my 110. Enjoy them:twisted:Quote:
