Unfortunatley not Tony, i bought the wheels last August and didnt want to put them on until all the salt on the roads during winter had gone.Tyres went cheap either £130 each ,but i think they look smart. |

Hi Fil ,had the Atr's a while now and im very impressed with them, use them when i go green laning ect and also all through winter ,they offer excellent grip in snow .There is more road noise than standard Goodyear Wranglers but that is to be expected due to the large tread block pattern, i would buy them again without hesitation and if memory serves me they were only £50 a corner. |

I currently have the Goodyear ATRs fitted, and find them as noisy as BFG MTRs on the road. I also lose about 3mpg with them. Fotunately, I have a spare set of road tyres for my forthcoming holiday to Spain, when I expect to do nearly 2,000 miles, with some driving on mountain 'roads'! I would prefer to run BFG ATs (or equivalent). |

No lift needed Keltick, they were designed purley for kj and that was recommended tyre size but i still had my doubts that they may scrub on full lock but fortunatley they dont. When you coming to Liverpool ?, if i'm not at work or out of the country(got best man dutuies abroad) i will try hook up with ya and have a beer. |
