Hi,

I have just fitted my new modulars and Insa Dakars and love the look of it now but worried that if I leave them on they will wear down too quick on the road. I still have my sport 18s but it looks pathetic on them now! I only do about 4 miles each way to work every day so not much mileage and in traffic too so low speeds. Any thoughts or advice from experience?

Looks awesome now though...Not bad for a "gay lander"...

Buy a push bike for commuting. That'll save the tyres.

Looks great, I considered it but chickened out and went for Dunlop ST20's, Mostly road use so thought id take the sensible option!! The look is great tho, like a giant Tonka!!

Looks Great!
What is the wheel size and width and profile on those tyres

MT tyres are notoriously noisy on tarmac and will have much less wet grip compared to your Sport 18" wheel/ tyre combination. Me I'd use the standard wheels for daily use, maybe adding some larger tyres to those, and use the MTs for play

Weirdly, I run insa turbo muds on my 110 and I've never ever had any wet grip issues and I don't hang around either.
They wear out in 30k though and start to get bad tread cracking after 4 yrs ish.
It's the noise I found annoying especially on a long journey.
I would fit insa's again but probably AT's next time.
