Based on the reviews from the two owners I have purchased a set to replace my cracking, not in a good sense, BFGs.

Really hoping they are as great as I have read.


Well, they are here and being fitted this afternoon.

Pretty impressed with tyreleader.co.uk and dpd.

These sound great


I was about to change my tyres then lockdown, working at home started.....


The wet grip is what I'm interested in as I have oem Continental currently and I think these have been great.


If I change to 18" Rims what size would I need in these>


Thanks

Have a look here:

https://www.oponeo.co.uk/tyre-model/pirell...rrain-plus

The tyres have been great in the wet. Significantly better than the BF G’s I had previously in my opinion.

I need to thank you for the reversing light idea. Did mine today and very pleased with the result

About to order some new boots. Any owners have any more long term information on how these Pirellis handle before I push the buy button. It's either these or the usual BFG/Coppers.

I have had these now for a while really pleased with them in dry and wet, went camping during storm frances at end of August and was the only vehicle that could get in and out of the muddy campsite without being towed by tractor so grip in mud is great and wet road hold felt better than BFG AT I thoroughly recommend them.
