The right feel and noise
Had my second set of MT/R's fitted today after running wranglers for about 6 months.
The car now feels right, not sure why and oh how I've missed the low rumble that takes '18' on the radio volume to tune out. It's almost like a soother...ah the rumble=safe feeling 8)
I'm a happy chap again

MTR's not only sound good and perform very well, they look 8)
If you swap back to road tyres they just look feeble.2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto

Too true Andy.
Not seen them in the daylight fitted, but I do remember when I took the last set off, it made the wheels look a size or two smaller. They're on and staying on.
Just need to get them in the muck now.....roll on kielder

Got a set of AT2's delivered from AJS yesterday. Fitted to a set of 18" style1 (5 spokes) which were purchased from DSL some time ago. Now on the car
Can't get to join the MTR club as they don't do 18's
AT's look and feel good though The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

mine was in the dealer yesetrday to get the EPB fixed (they haven't managed....)
However the results of the "health check" caused them to comment how much tread I still had left
More than a new tyre....if it isn't an MTR end of an era ....... maybe a Defender when it appears.......
