I've pretty much decided on a set of these myself so have a couple questions….
What size are they Stretch? Do you have a lift in?
If you don't mind me asking where and how much $$? (maybe PM me if you'd prefer)
2007 CRD Ti Patrol - springs, shocks, tyres, dual batt, bits of NADS here and there… (lots more to come)

Thanks Megomonster.
I really like the look of these. I want muddies but just cant justify them with my lack of dirt road fun atm
These look like a good compromise.

My experience is as they wear the tread gets harder, wet weather performance drops off noticeably at about the half worn mark. Makes for interesting experiences on wet tar, who would have thought you could drift a diesel Patrol on the tar
Time Marches On .....and on ..... and on

These look like a good compromise.
Two guys went and got new tyres, one got DC muddies and the other got DC FC-II, both went out for a bash in the mud.
Both tyres held there own. Both did the same tracks, same mud holes.
Road noise was quite loud on the muddies, so has now sold the muddies for a small loss and went for the FC-II now.
In other words he says the FC-II are more than capable in any terrain.

I still got my stockies on, and are well worn.
So I'm drifting on dry roads with a diesel patrol. Lol
The wet makes for real fun.
