Tyers

Interested in hearing from people who have fitted BFG All Terrain tyers after having less agressive tyers. Is there an increase in road noise on bitumen roads with these tyers? If so is it annoying?

Caravan Window Dressings
(Preview)
Is anyone else having difficulties with the concertina style Lotus Freelander window dressings. We are finding the privacy screen is peeling away and the operational cords are braking. Have replaced some dressings only to find that within months they are still a faulty product.
