Hi, well the title sums it all up so not much to add
6 of those babies, ready for testing.
I will drive 1400 Km on the road this week end to go to Barcelona at the "Les Comes" terrain for the Land Rover Party !
So quite a few tracks to test them on there.
Back to you in a few days with more info
What about you all, anyone else driving with these ?
Cheers

They look fairly chunky - does it fit under the back end???
Nice alloys, too. Regards,

That is the reason I kept the standard(ish) size, so they still fit in the original spot as i dont want a long range tank anyway.
chunky indeed, more than previous MUDs from BF, but as good in the mud and better rock crawling, possibly in sand too.
quite silent on the road for a M/T tyre too
more on all this in a few days

Just checked on the price, don't think we will be putting these in stock till the price comes down a lot, BFGoodrich need to wake up a lot as the fitted price would be £144.95 plus VAT, we are only keeping the 265/75x16 size in stock and I am not a big fan of the KM2 at present.

I know a guy in southern Spain who's just fitted a set of these and they look very good.

Yep - over 60km of tracks on a huge private estate (that is also home to the only LRE centre in Spain/Portugal), most of them 'modified' to provide some very decent off-road obstacles and situations.
It has been raining a lot here of the last few days, so we could even see a fair few of the 'black' tracks closed
I'll see you on Saturday By the way - what will you be wearing? The black grille or the gold grille? 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG

Sorry to learn about your past experience, was the Defender stuck on top of a dune and the D3 pull backward? that happens with defenders...
real question is : who will get us both out of the sand once we've stucked each other !
by the way, is our 3rd mousquetaires "in" or "not yet in" ?l=Oo\________/oO=l l:Ool======loO:l

Good looking tyres these KM2's, Andy, why are you not a fan? Are they not performing as well as the original BFG MT??
I just shod my D1 with some 265/75/16 Insa turbo 'Traction Track' tyres, a replica of the BFG TracEdge, they look bloody awesome, am sure they will perform in the rough too and cheap as chips 2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto

The pressure is on you now not to get stuck Still working on our 3rd and most importantly DEFENDER driver still not sure if he`s doing the Dakar, i will see him on Saturday and hopefully find out if he`s coming to help tow a Gold D3 around the sand

that is lame : using Computer Generated imaging to let us belive a D3 could get stuff... then saved by a Defenwhat ?
C'mon, be realistic !
ahah, anyway, this is exactly why i travel as light as possible : no roof rack oand tent and what not.l=Oo\________/oO=l l:Ool======loO:l
