Nice pictures John! Bitsa certainly looks good with the tilt on.
What tyres are you running, looks like you changed the 900s for
something else, right?

Tyres are 8.25 x 16 radials.
They have a massive aspect ratio, and stand as tall as the 9.00s
did, but are narrow enough to fit on normal rims.
Being radial, and a truck tyre pattern means it goes round
corners in the wet as a bonus..

I allready notice they seem high and narrow. What rims are you
using? I previously had some chinese made radial rubber on my
defender lwb rims and I kept having flat tyres.
Now I'm looking to replace my crossplies for something decent in
the wet (and less noise), but tyres are quite expensive!

Bitsa definately looks better with the tilt. I'm not sure wether
that's due to the tilt itself or just because you can't see all
the shit in the back ;) :) :)

Rims are normal lwb 5.5 wide... not even 130 rims.
Here's another photo from the same set, but taken/treated
totally differently...

them john, their yours. Sempt to think they had pretty decent
tread on them, we just have nowt to use them on

Yes please Joe... I wish I'd known that before actually going
out and buying a set... (not that I gave a great deal for these
- they came at a very fair price via this forum and the s2c).
And a reworking of the first image, with a different colour
balance - I think I prefer this version...

Yes, looks better with a bit more colour in it!
