My last set of BFGmuds were bought 6 years ago at a cost of £420 which included modular wheels and delivery to my door
They saw me through two 110 V8's and over 48000 miles
I then sold them on for £80 so nett cost to me was £340
Over 312 weeks that works out at less than £1.09 a week - a fair comment ?

Unfair calculation. If you didnt use your landy at all you could have sold them 'as new' and got a lot more back.
And also a lot of companies recommend you dont use tyres over 6 yrs old!

...oh and er....really I don't actually own *any* vehicles that could wear re-treads legally.
The only reason the last L322 I had could wear the MT/R's was because they were listed as "optional fitment" in the user manual. Obviously the supercharged one *cannot* run with the same muds :(

....although I should bow out of this conversation seeing as I spent nearly £1400 on a second set of wheels and mud tyres for Owl....

If I didn't use my Landy why would I buy new tyres for it ???
And why do you think I sold them after 6 years :lol: - (to a mate purely for use on his unroadworthy farm hack before you say more !)
