Boost Style Replicas
Hi there, I am considering changing my steel wheels for the boost style replicas, are they as good as the original Land Rover boosts?, and would you think the Kumho KL71 245/75 is a good tyre choice? JE Zulu 110 now sold
Carpathian 110 also sold
Defender 110 camper now in build

In answer to your query Boost 'style' or any other 'style' are just that, uncertified and unproven. In my opinion buy an original second hand set for a similar price and do a search on the tyre of your choice there are a myriad of threads about tyres and wheels! Started a couple historically myself! Laughing If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

I had four new coppies into stock and think they have a better finnish than gen one's.

You could fit 265/75x16 KL71's no probs, if you can find any, we have had them on back order for quite a while now, would be best with 30m spacers though.

OIther options are Hankook RT03, BFG KM2 or Cooper STT.

You need to ask yourself if you need a MT tyre, I went with 265/75x16 General AT2's with spacers on my 2010 Utility.
