Chris, the paint did get scratched but it wouldn't be hard to do it again without any scratching now that I have the knack.
Alan, these tyres do look good. I think the tread will give better grip in the mud than the Excelsiors I used previously.

I agree with John in Sydney, those are some beautiful tires. (Or tyres, if you prefer)... I heard the x3's are soon to be on the shelves... and I'm kind of excited!

Susanne, I do prefer tyres to describe that which fits around a wheel. Tires is what happens when a man, or woman, does some heavy work. Blockley products are made for an English company, and as such they are tyres.

Those are some great looking tyres! And Hartford tubes are great also...heaviest tube I've seen yet. They should last a long time.
Langs sells them.
