One thing though... your tyres are on the wrong way around ;) if I remember it was those ones that had the arrow moulded on them facing the wrong way :lol:
your not the first 1 to say that about the tyres & even i thought they looked wrong but ive put them on with the direction arrow facing the correct way

do you think i should swap them around ???
The tyres won't self clean properly when going forwards when fitted in that direction. They will perform better in the mud if you turn them around :thumbup:

If you look at interco super swampers, the tyres those ones copied you'll see that they are supposed to be fitted the other way :thumbup:
