so it could be all the old engine oil he removed whilst doing the service to save on disposal costs Laughing

mate, you should have seen the amount of oil he removed. It totally filled his suction globe, and that concerns me cos I never put oil in Shocked

England 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 S Manual Tonga GreenDiscovery 3

This is almost a new topic - but thinking of putting BFG AT 265/65/18 on my D3 - instead of Scorpions which whilst nice do not give great miles - and punctures seem not uncommon- and hope AT might give better durability and nice look too
So - why BFG? - like look as much at AT2's and they beef not bling my D3 and have been quoted 135 incl VAT fitted

What charcteristics will they have - less grip in wet or more noise etc??

this feels better than going to bigger wheels which I was going to d before
THANKS

I drove MTR's and now running on AT2 17"......
And if I had to choose at this point, before leaving on holliday and driving quite some disctance...
errrrrrr.....all the way for my AT2's Thumbs Up smooth and less noisy for the long drive...
in 19" it would be ATR I guess.

MTR's are good indeed....but IMHO only when you really need them and not to far from home Laughing

I don't know about the ATR, but an extra advantage with the AT2 is thta they come with the Snow-flake crystal, so you can use them all over europe as an approved snowtire....
MTR's are only M+S and this is not enough for Germany for ex.

Doozle, Helpful, thanks- what is the snow flake crystal? - I googled and could not find it? AT2 is my second choice - both will look nice in 18 - but price quoted for BFG AT is really good - basically GBP 115 fitted plus the VAT

I do not know how you manage to swop tyres/wheels so often - is there an easee secret?

Bye the bye, Good to know someone who lives in Bree..but I find the Nazgul drop in too much?

Regards
