What are those tyres like on the road, i.e grip, road noise.
erm, never really having used big off road style tryes before i dont think my comment can be valued too much, but from what i have seen from them, they are every bit as grippy as my old road tyres, cudnt notice any difference in the wet, they do hum a bit and they feel a tad more (wobbly) if thats the right word, think its cos there not as pumped up as much as the old ones, and the tyre walls a tiny bit bigger, but overall very pleased with them,
The wheels come up nice, def better than the pitted look most originals have,
same opinion on the muds, my bfg hum more but the traction's still good, had to stop pretty quick today on a wet road and stopped ok. no slipping etc,,
the funny noise has gone all on it's own, prob summat bedded in or fell off, dunno, very light on the steering but still aint had the tracking/ballenceing done
not alot really, to get them blasted and coated it was 25 a wheel, when u consider its just put another 5 or 10 years on them, suppose sum people still class it as a waste of money but really did like the idea of sumthin a wee bit different
Hi Ant, nice story and pics mate! Hope you don't mind me asking but how much was it for the powder coating? The chromes I got with my 33" tyres are a little worse for wear and I'm considering having them powder coated black. (If it costs too much it may be a black Hammerite job! )
[EDIT] Doh! You had already answered my question while I was busy typing it!! (Does that make sense?)
I've already said on many occasions, my 'S' isn't working properly. Waiting for a new keyboard. That wasn't laziness, ignorance or stupidity, which is what I was aluding to.

yeah i was worrying i thought they would be well worse, all the hype i have heard from friends and other forum members about muds being unpredictive and that, they havent been too bad at all

May get my rear wheel carrier done too, will go see the bloke who did my ARBs, they were £30 for the pair.
sounds about right, to start with he quoted 35, but i moaned like a bitch (havent you heard about the credit crunch haha, its only just been christmas bla bla bla) so he agreed to 25, but i had to promise him more work in the future haha
i want my wheel carrier done, aswell as a million other things haha
