Well, if you have money to spend on multiple wheels and tyres - good for you.

I'll wait 2 years and see what I can afford at the time thanks Rolling Eyes

Just travelled up to London and back on my new MTR's in freezing conditions on the A303 and very happy with their handling Thumbs Up

They do make a good whine though and have seriously dented my Av MPG - 27MPg down to 23.5!! Crying or Very sad

Yip mpg is poor, but at 94p a litre I'm happy with it.

On wranglers I was getting approx 28mpg on a run. Down and back to the NEC all motorway save for about 60miles out of 700 i averaged about 24mpg.

Got to agree they do look the part. I was parked in the hotel carpark with another 4 D3's close by, all silver as well 8) but the normal tyres look a bit small. No Disco 3 stickers or I would have put a sppotted post up.

The sand in Dubai is very soft unless you have that thing called rain, they are O.K'ish but a more road type tyre would be better IMHO.
