I like the big matching red Defender2 sticker on the wheel cover too.

Don't think I've posted about that yet

It's a Bearmach cover with a design a bit like the genuine hard-shell cover.

Yes it touches the side/brake lamp

I thought it was one of the genuine land rover ones, you had removed the white defender from (from a distance)

looks good, everyone will want a big sticker now

at least yours touches the lamp, not the body work

Absolutely loving the BFG ATs on it now, it is so much more sure-footed on them than the Contis.

Shame I can't justify another set of them

Is it 'cos my wheels aren't black or lights aren't clear?

I went from Continentals to BFG ATs on my 90 6 weeks ago, in the 4,300 miles since I would agree that they are a far superior tyre. No appreciable increase in noise or fuel consumption either.

Bu...r!

This post about the Conti's vs the new BFG TA's is a few days late! Just fitted new Conti's!!!

But then again... they get some much better press about longevity on harsh Oz gravel/off roads than the BFG!

Tyres eh!

Interestingly I replaced the Contis with BFGs because the former wore out too quickly for my liking!

Time will tell.
