Thread: Not many NEW ones left?

Ooooh I just noticed you are running GY MTR Kevlar's on it. I have ordered them for my 90 and have them on my 110. Think they are great. Did you go 265 75? Flirting with 285 75's

Black with high spec and 'Silver Pack' too! :>)

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.

The tyres are from the factory so are the 235/85s. I've not done enough k's on them to form an opinion.

Wow that's the first time I have seen them on a factory Defender. They take a little more airing down than normal as the kevlar makes the side walls quite stiff. Handles quite well though as it cuts down on flex in corners on road. Great tire and very puncture resistent. You did well getting those as stock

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

I wrangled a set of 4 265/75's for $1500 fitted. They usually want like $400 a pop

Looks like I did good then 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?

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
