Default Defender X - thoughts on tires & flaps

Hello everyone - - I just picked up a Defender X in eiger grey - beautiful and really enjoying it. It came with the all season tires, and my immediate thought was to upgrade to the Goodyear Wrangler...form and function. I also want to add the flaps (either new or classic, classic is my default). Last, I plan to add the cross bars (again form and function). I am looking for some opinions before I haul off and start modding - - - - trying to assess how this will look on an X - - thanks !

Mudflaps... are such a personal choice... you do you. I don't hate em or love em... and if they keep the vehicle cleaner, I could see the appeal.
GY Wranglers were the cheapest name brands I saw for ATs for whatever reason... I went with BFG KO2s... I've had excellent service out of BFG ATs on other vehicles. Look good too.

Mine came with the GoodYears, I'll keep them until I need new tires, but I've had great luck with the BFG K02's and my next set will be the BFGs

No wranglers on the wranglers? It looks like the new Bronco will use wranglers on some trims... gonna confuzzle people 😆 I've used BFGs on Broncos and this disco.

I just picked up an Eiger Grey X with the same wheels and interior (I think) as yours. Did you ever decide on mudflaps? I'm likely going with the standard (not classic) front and rear, but haven't found any pics of them mounted to an X with the glossy black bottom trims.
