Sorry I didn’t get notification of a reply Blackwolf. Yes they were from paddocks. I found the discount code by searching on here. Price I think has gone up since I pre ordered I’ll check the invoice tomorrow. Paddocks were very quick with delivery. Not had chance to fit them yet

I had a set from Paddocks before, no problem. My most recent ones were from D44, again no problem. Mr. Green Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

No pics yet because it was getting dark when I got home, it was a bit of a struggle getting them off/on my Blindos. I'll try to pics plus some impressions over the weekend.

The shoulders are very knobbly!

Did the go on okay? When I had mine fitted they had a bit of trouble setting the bead.
They thought it was due to storage most likely and a ratchet strap was needed to compress the tyre to set it. It worked in the end. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

7x16 et15 if I remember correctly with spacers

Only done a few road miles since fitting but compared to toyo Mts they seem to have a more flexible side wall and are a bit quieter.

Anyone done a long or daily drive on these yet? How noisey? And vibration?

Anyone got a comparison to STT Pros?

Considering a more aggressive tyre toward the end of the year, likely in 285/75 or 315/70. Instagram @defender_ventures

I've done about 600 miles since fitting mine a week ago, and have to say that I am still extremely delighted. They are so smooth, quiet, and comfortable compared to the high-mileage KM2s I took off. That includes a run to Devon and back (250 miles). Quieter than the old ones, no vibrations, and mine are presently not balanced at all because (a) my Blindos won't fit the balancing machine, and (b) even if they did I won't let them stick stick-on weights on my wheels. In due course I will stuff a load of beads in them, if it becomes necessary.

They also look the business, especially on Blindos. Thumbs Up

Ive got Dynabeads on order as well blackwolf as I had the same issue with fitting on a balancing machine although they feel pretty good so far.
