    Hmmm... Can't really tell but they look as though they could be the Michelin XCL.

    If you're sure it's the type used on the trophy then it probably is the XCL as that's what they used on most of the Trophies. (They used the XZL for a couple of years, BFG MT in '97, Dunlop something or other on the early series vehicles and the XPC on the Freelander.)
