At last, new tyres today :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:9a m.
With the state of the finances, and three hungry mouths to feed, i went with the GT Radial Adventuro MT's at $240 a piece. Photos to follow.
Get ready for Landrover porn:lol2:

Ok,
phase two...complete! 'The Judge'. We named it as we purchased the truck off a Judge who had just had a judgely promotion, and whose judgely duties provided him with a brand new statesman, hence no room for the Landy.
May have to make a small trim on front bumper, but very minor if needed.
Now all I need is a ARB D2 sahara bar to come my way for about $200:lol:.

Hi
How are yu finding the Adventuros'. What are they like on road, very noisy at all? I like the price, and they seam like a very good tyre indeed. Would love to see some pics of the disco now with the lift and the tyres.
Cheers

the pics are here? Iv'e already posted them in this forum.
Can none of you see them?
The tyres are good. The noise is irrelevant until you hit 80kph or so, then its noticable, relative to what the old michelins sounded like. Around town though this is again irrelevant. On the open road i'm not sure i would really mind, esp if i was out to do some 4wding. If i was commuting evryday it would be an issue, but then buying them would be silly in the first place.

Yep, its called LandyPorn:). No doubt it will soon be filtered.:mad:
re pics, i had set up my album as a private album, instead of public, hence that setting extended to the viewing within the forums aswell. Changed the tag to public, and voila!;)
