Defender 90 delivered!

One bonus, at least in my case, is that pulling the seat forward manually is a lot easier and faster then waiting on the power seat to slowly move itself forward. Prior to my D90 arriving, the dealer got a 90 First Edition and I was able to drive it. It had the power memory seats and it felt like it took forever for them to move forward so you could climb in the back.

Is there any reason to NOT get the $350 (?) option off-road tires? They look a lot better. But perhaps noise concerns at highway speed? Or replacement cost is far higher than standard?
...also, do you plan to install mudflaps? Just personal preference, I think mudflaps look great on the 90.

We were so proud of ourselves spec'ng our a very capable vehicle with the active diffs and all terrain stuff but with the road biased tires. The logic was this vehicle is gonna spend 99% on the pavement and it will be fine for occasional beach or forest trail runs.
Part of this logic was how much louder my more aggressive off-road tires are on my Wrangler.
Then I saw the Pirelli Scorpions we got and thought, uh oh, there's not a lot of tread there.
then I saw the off-road tires and said, man that's reasonable, nothing too aggressive.
Then, and here's the punch line, at just about 2k miles we already got a flat on the Scorpions. And you know how, a friggin piece of driveway gravel.
YMMV, but if I was ordering again, I'd get the off-road tires!

oh the mud flaps are probably in my future! I’ve been undecided, but the more I see the classic mud flaps the more I like them.
