I know its been mentioned on here before but those particular tyres are only speed rated (K) to 68mph.

Indeed!

As 68mph, is 2mph less than the legal speed limit.

I can happily live with this. Defender 110 XS SW Puma - 2011

Interestingly the Road vehicles C&U states that K rated tyres aren't legal for 'Goods vehicles' as they need to have a 70mph minimum rating. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1986/1078/regulation/25/made

Assuming this applied to N1 vehicles and therefore most later defenders?

Ooof doesn't that look good!

How do the tyres handle? Are they sufficient on noise?

Handling in the dry, there is no change, turning circle the same at 12m.

Noise, no different to 235x85x16 road tyres. Thought i am slightly deaf and have the alpine cranked up.

Thanks! Defender 110 XS SW Puma - 2011

You really must be deaf! Great tyre but they really howl, even compared to an AT let alone a road tyre. James
