    New Tyres for my toy

    i just fitted new 7.50/16 oylimpic steel treks on army 6" rims to my Defender

    took the 31x10.5/15,s bfg muddys off

    man has it transformed the ride and handling it drives totaly different

    the wheels i had the muddys on were old classic rangie centres fitted to 15x7" rims and i think that could have been the problem wrong off set

    apart from looking silly with very skiny tyres im impressed with the drive and they are quiet compared to the bfg,s

    pics please. i went from 255/85 to 7.50 there is a wider choice of tyres and availability when you need to replace one. plus my 255 cooper LT wore really quickly on the black top. i now have michelin xzy.

    your going to love the treks... they're my goto tyre specially if you can get the 12ply rated ones. (and I have a cheap source)

    One day I'll find the copy of the 4x4 mag that did the tyre test with em (this would be 6 odd years ago now) they were the only tyre to score in every section over 50%.
