So I spoilt my lux with new "fit flops"

Post by BenRich »

Firtsly I have to say state that I was extremely happy with my previous tyres. The Pro-Comp Xtreme AT 265/75/R16.

I had then on the vehicle for 12 months now and have not had a single issue!!!! They are very good on tar, quite, good on the trails and absolutely no chipping what-so-ever. They actually still look brand new!

It is just I had the oppertunity to upgrade to what I really wanted from the start so I took it :yahoo:

A brand new set of BFG KM 265/75R16. A full set of five and I'm very happy with the results :thumbup:

My BFg Muds het nou al 72 000km's op en kan nog so 10 000km doen en ek is nog steeds gelukkig met hulle. Ek sal beslis weer van dit opsit.
