The wheels are used on RRS and Disco5 but those are painted black, they look much better in naked alloy Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come

A perfect match to the rest of the vehicle therefore! Rolling with laughter




Sorry, couldn't resist that, I'll go and punish myself appropriately....

Would love to know how they got it that shiny. Could it be that new detailing product from Photoshop or a high gloss wrap? Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come

Does anyone know if BF Goodrich KO2 size 265/60/R20 will fit without any rubbing on the new Defender?

Yeah seen that on the defender fb group but tbh I don’t want to reduce the sidewall and I don’t want wide tyres on preference is to stick to as close as I can to the stock tyre size. If they don’t fit I’ll go for the Duratracs

I have put the Goodyear Duratracs on their ice and snow test the past few days and they are fantastic! If you drive sensible on the roads there is no issues with traction whatsoever, breaking and acceleration all controlled they feel safe. Highly recommend them.

Normal weather conditions they are great, I really can’t tell they are A/T tyres, the drive is smooth and quiet no issues with grip they stick to the tarmac.

No off road test yet but that will come soon I hope.

I have also been reading that both the OEM Pirelli All Seasons and the GoodYear Adventurers have been performing quite well in snow. We haven’t had enough depth of snow to be able to say how the Duratracs on the 110 are as whenever I’ve gone on essential shopping runs the snow has disappeared! It’s snowing hard again here now but I have no essential trips to make.... Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come

It is all compact here now and like ice! I struggle to walk on it never mind drive but the Duratracs together with the defenders traction control and terrain response settings it’s literally a walk in the park. I tried emergency stop it handled no problem without any loss of traction. Acceleration is a breeze, the only slight loss in traction was on full steering lock but nothing major to worry about. Like I said if you drive sensible you won’t have any problems driving with the Duratracs in snow or ice.
