Just a little snippet of info for those who may have been considering these boots for their LC.
I have been up on salisbury plain on exercise this week and as part of this i have spent a bit of time bombing around in a hilux shod with brand new KM2's. On wednesday or thursday i was out picking up a sentry and driving over the rough tracks that we all love i.e. not too severe at all but with a fair amount of flint! On returning back to the camp i discovered my nearside front tyre was nearly flat and on inspection there was a 3 inch long scar in the sidewall and at the deeper end it was punctured all the way through.
Rather sheepishly i returned the vehicle to the range mong who had kindly lent it to me and he tutted and told me that his opposite number down on chilcomb range had also done a sidewall this month on the same tyres and same vehicle.
Coincidence, probably, but just thought i'd share.
