1989 Defender 90 V8 Petrol SW Auto Java Black

Are these the ones that cost about £400 per axle?
How quick to fit and remove?

They recommend that you turn off the TC

£569 inc Vat for 4 "sets" which is 4 chains or 2 pairs. (dont get caught out ordering a 'set' as a 'set' in one chain)

Thanks for that, just working out if I should get them to fit an old set of tyres and leabe them on all the time ready for snow, or get a set to suit the new Mud's and put on when required.

Excuse the ignorance, can you turn the TC off. Not got it, but was planning to spec the new 90 to have it ?

On this subject, is the TC / ABS worth having, not ordered the 90 yet?

Definitely worth having in my opinion. However, you can't turn it off (which is a shame). One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS

2007 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 HT Zermatt Silver

Look good but I haven't had any trouble in the snow with ABS

Oh yeah I haven't got it

Mind you the Grabber TRs were much better than the BFG Mud Terrains in the snow. MAD COW

That's interesting. Someone else said that to me. I was thinking that the AT's might be the best compromise but I've been quite impressed with my TRs. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS

You could put chains on but there is another option:
