Shiny new boots picked up and fitted today.18 month old Black 18" PD1881 with 265/60/18 yokohama geolander AT/s tyres and only done around 8000 miles. Well worth the 450 mile round trip to collect them from Henley on Thames today
Got them swapped over as soon as i got back and the ride improvement is huge in comparison to the 20" cooper that have come off Previous Discos
