Should grip like **** on the mucky stuff.

Just go steady in the wet on road, I had another 90 nearly slide into me in a lane once with those on.

Same as me running KM2's right now, I know my limits.

Saying that GG's are just as bad and a so called road based tyre..
Good tyres make a Defender IMO.

Ha ha that's ok I don't have a radio and I like to hear what everything is doing even on long runs music just gets in the way

Agree with all the above. Great off-road but tricky in the wet or ice.

If you get stuck with them you shouldn't be there.

I keep the special tracks on the S2A. 1970 Series 2A 88"

1998 Defender 110 300 Tdi HT Alpine White

I had them for 18 months or so, naturally great off road, wet could be hairy, and I even drove them in snow / ice... the latter is certainly not recommended, but at this time of year that's now unlikely... the noise as said above is loud and just a drone...if any of you have been in a turbo-prop medium size aircraft, it is just like sitting next to an engine in one of them...
