    Thanx Lukeis, I am also considering the BFG KO2 tyre - my local Jax guy only had the D697s in stock so he is getting a sample of all 3 in for me (Maxxis, Achilles & KO2) so I can look and touch them and compare the 4 of them against each other (so much better than just photos or brochures!). Meanwhile I will keep researching. Good luck with your Maxxis.

    Look good too.
    Interesting to see how your tyre size choice goes.
    Ive just fitted a set of 265/60x18 Cooper ATRs with little or no difference to driveability or fuel consumption.
    I had 235/85x16 on my D2,they were awesome off road but hurt the fuel economy and driveability.
    I think I would take alot of convincing to go much bigger than I have on the D4,perhaps out of warranty with an ecu upgrade

    Agreed Andy, and if I didn't have a tyre shop 2 kms away which gives me access to a belly lift i'd be too lazy to swap between sets.

    No rear air con is another big factor, I don't have it and probably would be in the too hard basket for me to modify. Whereas a hairdryer and a few taps of a hammer I can justify...

    Plus the car come with 15k km old cooper ht's so don't want to waste them!

    I have a hoist at work,I doubt I will be putting the OEM wheels back on.I do like them,the GOE wheels however are simply nice to look at.

    You cant go wrong at that price,especially if you are only using them as play tyres.

    Ive read a number of good reviews on them. The people ive met who have them love them. Most of these guys were running 32inch tyres on a 16 or 17" rim though. Might be different in a lower profile.

    Cheers

    Good price!
    More of an all terrain than a mud though, good all round tyre though.
    All depends on what you want to do with them.
