ditchman Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 re-moulds are much better than they used to be..........why not ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji Shooter Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Saw some amazing BFG Mud Terrain remoulds at a recent Land Rover show - quality was pretty good and only £70 a corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted August 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 I was expecting a load of no's. I can get 5 205/16's for £250 tracker mud terrain tyres. For a Land Rover that won't go over 50mph I thought what not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji Shooter Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 For a Land Rover that won't go over 50mph I thought what not. Exactly, someone pointed out that BFG were good for 40,000 miles on a Defender, well I only do about 1000 a year in it so not much to worry about. Better off sticking the £300 saving into something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
