Thanks Wayne, glad i went with your recommendation on the Trepadors, as i said before i was going to go with Kumho KL71 but they just looked too fat in the 35" size. Then i was going to go the tall and skinny option with the Interco 35.5 x 10.5 size but they don't do a radial in that size any more unfortunately.
So far i'm impressed with how quiet they are on the road compared to the Nankang Mudstars that were on it and they are great in the wet. I haven't used them properly in anger off road yet but that will come soon.
That panel damage happened a couple weeks back before i fitted the new tyres, i came off second best with a sandstone wall and i would rather not talk about it at the moment :wasntme:
I'll get around to fixing it soon, i can do panel work but aluminium is pretty new to me, ill have to strip the paint back and anneal with a torch before i start bashing it back into shape, i've already pulled it back a fair bit with a slide-pull hammer. Gives it character right ;)
