Just checked again & noticed they are close to me - then the seller - it's Lee Clarke - good guy - but I know him - so better get a second opinion Embarassed

This is his main site -

Try MD Couriers - may save you money rather than driving to collect -

Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed For some reason I just re-read the listing again - the tyre size is (slightly) wrong.

Standard is 255 50 20 - these are 255 55 20

255 55 20 seems to be the size for the new L405 model.

Difference will be negligible, but it's not the standard tyre.

May be worth a call to double check

Thought I'd better let you know before you travel or part with cash Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed

No worries Smile I have just bought them, it was the alloys I really wanted, when you say negligible could you expand on that and if worse comes to worse I could always sell the tyres . I have wrangler 255 55 19 on at the moment so going to use them for the winter and put the new alloys on for summer is that ok ?
