Nice tyres, you won't regret the buy. Got them a few months ago, work forestry so they get put to some use, and they haven't let me down.

A pic to show what you're getting:

Ha, awesome. I am happy with them so far especially for the price.. They look a lot better :). Hopefully they will get a bit of use over the next few weeks.

I think the weather man has hyped us up again.

Here is a quick pic, not a very good one.

When I took the Jimny in the tyre guys were going they wont fit, blah blah blah. I told them to just do it. I can't see any issue of clearance but now I think that I want to lift it 50mm. The never ending list of modifications.

Also to me the gearing is a lot better to. its only a couple of hundred revs different but doesn't see to scream as much.
