I have replaced my Yokohama Geolandar M/T+ size 31/10.50-15 with BFGoodrich  M/T KM2 size 285/75-16. These shots give before and after and end on views. More when I have tried them out.

A bit more info.

Clearance under the diffs has gone up 34mm.

Tread width has gone up from 216mm to 222mm.

Tyre noise is less than expected.

Silverline Wheels and Tyres of Warwick. Tel. no 01926-490002.

They are listed in the magazine adverts as £775 for 4, fitted to 8"x16" Black modulars.

When I rang to order them, Silverline told me that they didn't have any and delivery from BFGoodrich was unknown. This was a similar story from Kumho with regards to their KL71's.

I rang the number listed by Goodrich as their info centre to find that it was the Michelin company technical helpline. apparently Michelin own BFGoodrich. "Just had 4 returned due to incorrect ordering, I will check them out and come back to you". True to his word he did, tyres where in Stoke, with my name on them. They were delivered next day to Silverline and I collected them that afternoon.

In this day of indifferent service coupled with bad attitudes it was refreshing to find two companies who came up trumps.
