If mud is such a problem then a locking diff or two will make a massive difference.

Wonder if the op has traction control?

Apologies, somehow I wasn't notified of your replies. No traction control on this TD5 though I know some were spec'd with it. Looks like a big job to do. Locking diffs - definitely will consider a rear locking diff one day for sure.
I had everything fitted yesterday and wow, so happy I made the call to go 235 width. It's a different machine! So much lighter in the steering, quieter (I know, that'll go with time) and less rolling resistance. Feels like a big upgrade compared to the heavy worn 265 km1s. Very happy, the bfg k03s are whisper quiet on road, handle well on gravel and dirt but most importantly they are mud killers and good grip on wet grass. Will see how time goes but very happy. ![]() Click image to enlarge 2002 Defender TD5 110 Epsom Green @giuseppethedefender |

I though they were KM3s, or did you change your mind? They certainly look good. |

They look good, perform well, and last well.
![]() (I’m using KM2 now, but would go KM3 in future, maybe even a KM4 by then who knows). I’d rather they last as long as possible, as it’s not a job you want to go out of your way to have done that often. Again, the 255/85/R16 is a good size, I prefer them to the 235 width, and no mods really or spacers needed. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧 |
