Cheap Tyres
Has anyone used these guys, the prices of their tyres seem very reasonable.

Never heard of the make of tyre they are promoting (and most of them seem to be out of stock or available to special order anyway), but then I had never heard of the tyres I have on my T2 (Nankang - made in Vietnam, not exactly the tyre manufacturing centre of the world!) I had them fitted June 2009, drove the car to southern Spain where they have now covered around 7000 miles without any obvious signs of wear, in spite of being used 50% of the time on mountain tracks which are as close to off-roading as you will get. The cost? £48 each including fitting, valve, balance and VAT.

I have Maxxis Bravo tyres on my truck, it was a brand new set of 4 when i bought the truck last january.
I have found them ok in dry conditions but recently in the wet weather i have found them to be a bit on the slippy side and have had the back end go out on me on a couple of occassions. Can anyone recommend me a good all round tyre suitable for all weather conditions. I am looking for road tyres only size 265/70/16 |
