OK Matt, hands up...

When I bought them, I didn't realise they were winter tyres.
I just looked for 60 profile tyres for the front instead of 65's to lower it a tad.

They were super cheap second hand on a certain well known internet auction website.

I'm happy with the look, they're pretty damn grippy,
and they've absolutely transformed the ride comfort. I love 'em 8)

One thing I would really like for the back though is an LSD,
cos the bus is properly rubbish at getting off wet fields :(
