A good mate of mine has just put these on his RRC, and they are excellent, awesome grip & reasonably quiet,  I shall be ordering myself a set come the summer.

 My mate had them on his TD5 and after a few thousands miles the side wall started to crack.
Thanks,

i had some on my old disco and found they wear out fairly quick and as above cracked around the edges although they were on the disco when i got it so no idea how long they last from new...

oh and in the mud they were great did a tug of war with my old maverick and draged it around like a rag doll!

While casting no aspersions, in my experience that looks very much like damage you get from under-inflation.

Knowing how much of a mess one pair of tractor tyres can make in damp/wet conditions, I would definitely agree in that they're not ideal for keeping any greenlanes in decent states.  :shocked:
