I wouldn't worry myself and an alloy wheel brush. (An old one is ideal) with water should be fine with a bit of elbow grease.

Hello Oakseywick

Nothing complicated...washing up liquid, water and a soft cloth / sponge
may take a few goes, but the white lettering becomes clear.

I had two sets of BFG AT's on my last Defender, excellent.

Off Topic Those Light Force spots seem to be growing bigger on each picture. Think Mal has put them on a 24V diet. Laughing
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

I think the filters make them look bigger, the page 3 of Defenders. Whistle Rolling with laughter


On a more sensible note: Lettering in or out both the KM2 and AT from BFGoodrich add bloody good tyres.
Changing to KM2's on mine from GG TR's was one of the best things I ever did do.
For a off road biased tyre I find them very good on road, brilliant off road.
TR's were useless off road and skittery on road, especially in the wet.
