No white lettering on them at all. I don't feel the need to advertise what tyres are fitted.

I got the tyres from a very good friend who is in the trade, and he did me a special deal. I had to get them fitted locally, which cost me £15 per wheel.

Now I have done a few miles, I am really happy with them. I have been playing around with pressures, and I reckon 27 psi gives the best ride/feel combination. I don't run around with any weight in the car, so don't see the need to have them pumped up to anything higher.

What's others opinion on this? I initially had them at 35, bit the car was very bumpy and a bit skittish. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV

My rears are supposed to be at 48, but that always seems far too high.
