Russell,
They are type 1 18" alloys x 4 with General Grabber AT2's that are currently at 10mm all round (dealer checked) They where bought from JMC 3 months ago at which time they had 550miles on, I have added a further 2500 miles. the wheels have the odd scratch but nothing deep or noticeable.
I will take £500
But please read and think about the other comments made by Forum members above,

MTR'S seem to be winning here "UNDERSTEER" ---is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" -is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" ------------is how far you take the fence with you.

You could always go to the stealer you traded it in at and nick it back
Oh hang on, it was made by RLD and is designed to be un-nickable, so looks like a schoolboy error and one to chalk down to experience - Always gut the car of anything of value (that is not specified in terms of sale) before final delivery to a stealer etc I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Well had the MTR's on now for a couple of days and they ride ok but they are noisy and at anything above 20mph they wow wow wow away.
Dont think I would live with them for too long but as we are off to the Pyrenees in Sept I will leave them on and decide later "UNDERSTEER" ---is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" -is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" ------------is how far you take the fence with you.
MTR's...AT2's...? I've done a couple of tracks in that area (Spanish side of the border) very close to Encamp on "normal" 19" Goodyear Wranglers...The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

Yes I am sure the Goodyear's would be fine but just in case we go slightly more extreem in our adventures I think the MTR's should suffice "UNDERSTEER" ---is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" -is how fast you hit the fence.
