Anyone got any experience or info on these tyres ?
I was in getting a balance done today and asked the gaffer what he had in terms of 17 " offroad tyres.He showed me the above but ( doh !) I forgot to check the load/speed rating !
He quoted me € 155 + VAT which seems pretty good to me.Wills plea for STT's prompted me to ask whilst I was in.

Sorry Discowex, due to how long they lasted it was a few years ago (2003) that I got them.
However I paid £85 per tyre for 5 all in back then which was about 60% of RRP. end of an era ....... maybe a Defender when it appears.......

Gaffer said that he fitted them to a D3 last week CFB.
The width ( 265 ) seems a lot with the 70 Profile ?

Did a site search before posting Spotter and didn't come up with any hits .
ps he also had BFG MT's but sadly only available up to 16's .They looked like a serious FO Tyre
