Needed a bit of rear fender trimming on my D1, probably not on a DII. _____________________________ Tom Rowe Four wheel drive allows you to get stuck in places even more inaccessible. 62 88 reg 67 NADA x2 74 Air Portable - The Antichrist (tag 6A666) 95 D1 95 D90 (in reply to Disco Mike) Post #: 3

Sadly they suck for longevity if you run them on tarmac. But I typically run load range D or E tires. My next set will probably be another set of Cooper STT's. _____________________________ Tom Rowe Four wheel drive allows you to get stuck in places even more inaccessible. 62 88 reg 67 NADA x2 74 Air Portable - The Antichrist (tag 6A666) 95 D1 95 D90 (in reply to Disco Mike) Post #: 5
