nearly £800 for a set of 5

but I suppose if your a hardcore 4x4 and can do without a kidney or something it would be fine.

Bet they still get stuck!

I've always said, half the skill is in the driver not the kit....you can do wonders with a 2CV if you know what you're doing...

my wife is in 2cv gb and we have been to several events, if you ever get a chance to see some real original, twin engines 4x4 2cv's in action, you will be amzed, i have never seen anyhting perform off road as well as that, they go up amazing angles almost like a spider climbing a wall, and even now with them all bing over 40 years old with 2 375 cc engines, check out footage of the paris dakar on you tube with 2cv's racing!

they are awesome, but now very rare and very exspensive, there are many modern 'conversions' with a sngle engine, which are pretty good but not like the originals!

I wouldn't do any towing with one, or fit loads of pasengers and kit inside, and they aent very fast, also they probably wouldn't even win half a star in and NCAP test, the are 4x4 dinasaurs but brilliant stuff all the same!

and it wasn't that long ago you could pick 'em up for £300 or so...

I dont think I have ever seen a genuine 4x4 2cv sell for under £3000! though the ordinary ones you could, they are climbing in value all the time now though and even a basically roadworthy one, nothing special will cost up to £1500.

Plank - bear with me mate. At 55 years of age the phrase 'not that long ago' takes on new meaning...

ok Grandpa, you see im just a youthfull 42

Back to the subject of the post, but these tyres arent that exspensive compared to other premium brand tyres? say BFG or YOKOHAMA etc? or even SIMEX?

I think the main thing is most off road and mud tyres are remoulds hence the big price difference!
