These BFG's are getting pricey

As are all makes I guess. Any good links for deals on BFG M/T's or A/Ts?

Try contacting Devon 4x4, or paddock spares by phone or email.

Other than that just online sellers, but, check it says in stock first or lead times full stop with all of them.
Otherwise, they’re a lot of places that will take the order but don’t know when the supplier can send out which could be months.

Site sponsors are worth a look of course first, I’m unsure if there is a supplier of tyres though at the moment? $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

1983 Defender 110 Other HT Auto Keswick Green

I've had several sets from Craddocks over the years, although not bfg, that I can remember anyway.

Worth keeping an eye on Black Circles because occasionally they have deals popping up - just over a year ago I purchased a pair of KM3s and got 10% (£50 at the time) off which took them below anyone else with stock I could find (235s which I realise are not to everyones taste)

Goes without saying that if the deal looks too good to be true it probably is - there was a thread a couple of months ago about an online tyre sales scam where the site claimed availability, market smashing prices etc but was just taking the money and running

If you're willing to put up with a slightly larger tyre then Jon w up in Ruthin has been able to source a reasonable stream of KM3s in 285/75R16 for a lot less than current prices.

When I last chatted to him he had a couple of sets but I think they're going fairly quickly but he might be able to source some more. Ed

Good to know. They already seem to be the cheapest fitted price online. Is that throughout April?

2005 Defender 130 Td5 HCPU Kaikoura Stone

something to note when buying off blackcircles, camskill, mytyre etc etc (which i have done many times up untill recently)

Brought a new set of Pirelli scorpians for a disco 4.5 and they failed and bulged within 10k miles of putting them on the car we normally got 30-40k miles depending on back or front and motorway miles etc. The tyres were just under £60 cheaper each than everywhere else at the time and we thought it was a great deal. When we went to our Local independant AJD Landrover after the bulding happened and we needed them done fast, he said that he had seen it before where someone one had brought tyres from an online 'business farm' type company and the same had happened as they were really old. When he checked the date on our tyres the date on the tyres were was 5 years prior to when we purchased them. So beware, after doing some research there is no real vetting process on the dates of tyres that come out from these types of companys and although cheaper in the first instance, has turned out a lot more expensive in the long run.
