If you go for the Paddocks option don't assume you will get free delivery as the order is over £60. Size restrictions apply (small print) and they don't elaborate any further. A chap on the Landy Forum I am on ordered 4 tyres from them and due to the pallet size a charge was made for delivery. If he had placed 4 individual orders, each sent separately, the individual package sizes would not have resulted in a carriage charge.

It's a funny old world.

I personally prefer the Falken tread pattern aesthetics over the BFG and they do appear to have a good reputation from the general reviews I have seen.

Thanks for the replies, now wait till they open.
£600 BFG if there in stock + not so free carriage.
£322.50 + free carriage.
Will Falken be a stupid price next year? it's only word of mouth that sells.

Falken in 215 75 r15 are rarer than new Jimnys. Looks like lazy sellers can't update there web site but offer more expensive tyres they can't sell. So I have sold a kidney & gone for the BFG ko2 from Paddock. Thanks Mr Jackonlyjack for the heads up.

Spoke to Paddock I was assured they could have them in 1 to 2 days. Postage was free. So I went ahead & paid for 5 tyres. This morning got a call from Paddock sorry supplier out of stock!!! Is the world full of A*se Holes.

Customer service and satisfaction seems to be an ever dwindling resource in the modern marketplace, yes there are still suppliers who are serious about offering a good experience but there are so many more who just want the revenue and not the work. It's becoming endemic.
