I have had 19" wheels with Goodyear Wrangler 255 MTR's on my car this afternoon. As usual, I did not take a picture, but thats me. They are a little noisy on the road, but if you plan to off road does it matter.
They look so aggressive, it is not true. Bet they throw stones like no tomorrow at 90 mph. Now we are talking about some good knobbles. Yes I know there are more serious ones, but these FIT 
They are not easy to get yet, but can be obtained now.
Call Gary at Nene Off Road, he promissed and he has delivered. Tel Number 01604 781187. Mention my name, Martin or Disco3 for the best deal you will get. I think you will be surprised at the price and yes he does mail order. At last we can go mud pluggin.

I assume you will be testing them out on the 18th, would be interesting to compare the road and proper MT tyres in the rough. I have the Goodyears on my 90 and they are great, aggressive yet not as noisey as other MTs I have had before.
Was the noise bearable for everyday driving? Disco 3 TDV6HSE Cairns blue auto

Its there and you will be aware of it. I have them on my 110's and they don't bother me or the lads, but the D3 is very quiet. It would be noticable, no getting away from it.
By the way have you tried the chat room yet?

Would be interested to know if there is a BFG AT KO fitment for the standard 18" LR alloys. Or a similar AT pattern.
Ran them for 40k+ mikes on my Def90 as they were a reasonable compromise for me without having a second set of rims.
Anyone out there got them on yet
