Of course that still leaves me the problem of what to do about the tyres on the 90! Bugger! :angel:

:Rolling:I'm sure there is a cheaper way to buy tyres ;)
Still, with a Defender thrown in, I s'pose 50 grand is reasonable!!

You could always sell the old tyres - with vehicle attached.:D

I just picked up a pretty much brand new set of General Grabbers. The ones that land rover fit to a new defenders. Got them cheap and taking the mud tyres off the 110 and putting these on . After all not much call for mud tyres in Brisbane or surrounds :). But should make it quieter and better in the wet

So what pressures are we all running in our tyres???:)
I know this is a can of worms so just keep your opinion to road use please.
The book says something like 25psi front and 38psi rear unladen;)
I have found the same thing with motorcycle tyres in the wet,
Run a higher pressure, this allows the tyre to maintain it's profile keeping the tread open which works better for water dispersal on the road.
