Cant post a pic as not got them on a hosted site but happy to email to someone to post as got some of my (now sold) Def 90 in black with 285/75/16 KM2's, Anthracite ZU rims and an OME 2" lift.. Can honestly say it drove better , smoother and handled better after the change from factory even with the lift.. only had 30k on the clock but definately sharper plus the steering stabilisers.. The KM2's performed on road as well as the BFG AT's previously fitted.

Cheers

Honestly didnt notice any significant difference.. yes if you open the window you could argue there was slightly more hum.. but nothing to even worry about.. especially over sports pipe! Smile

The grip off road was huge.. mine was a TD5 with quite a few mods (IRB) and just needed to add more power as the tyres dug in.

I might have a link to a mates kodak set with some off road pics.. will look tomorrow.

No, it is the way I would do it if I were to have tyres with OWL.
