Just thought I'd stick a few pictures up of my new tyres...

They're Cooper Discoverer STT 275/65R18

I haven't had a chance to test them off road yet cos my front prop needs some new UJs and I don't fancy anything breaking while I'm in the mud! :rolleyes:

As far as road use goes (it's my main vehicle), they seem fantastic. Very little extra noise compared to the BFG ATs, and they are well-behaved right up to 90mph. Cornering and braking is spot-on etc etc so I'm impressed so far!

90mph in a defender?...
 
No, it had these wheels on without a lift when I got it. It had some Goodyear Wrangler road tyres on it, then I stuck some BF Goodrich All Terrains on it and it was fine. Then I lifted it!

The wheels are Range Rover wheels but then need hub adapters cos they're a different fitting to the standard Defender ones.

I've got a spare set of those alloys (in mint condition) and the part-warn BFGs which came off to go on eBay....
 
Yeah, it should be kicking out about 200bhp but would be interested to get it measured properly. It goes like **** off a stick though, which is good for me but not so good for tyres... :D
