Any tyre recommendations?

Gotta be cheap!! Do you chaps tend to use the same places for tyres?

Same places as in places that sell tyres? :crazy:

I take it no one rates re-moulds either?

What area of country?

Lot of people seem to like the remoulds depends what your using them for. I mainly do road work and towing. Off roading i would not like to comment on lot of people use Insa Turbos which are a remould, General grabber all terrain is a firm favorite with a lot, i cannot fault the Nexens for what i do bloody good in the rain as well.

This is what i got.

I've used Silverline before, their prices are competitive and the service is great. Tyres Direct have a vast selection and good prices too.

Theres nothing wrong with remoulds so long as they are approved for road use and you consider the potential limitations e.g. speed ratings

I use Hillam Tyres in Denby Dale.

Cheers for replies gents, quite varied, will look into all recommendations. Might just bag a few remoulds for the winter, for £60 you cant really grumble!

Google "Speedy" Wheels ( I think that is the name) they had new budget all terains at around £50/55

remoulds are ok as long as they have been done to british standard.it is re treads that are the problem.they can de laminate.

personally I would not touch a remould/retread for road use with a bargepole:amen:

nothing wrong with remoulds,as long as they are made correctly,but i would never touch a re tread either.

Depends what you want to drive on.

I have used inca turbo ranger for the last 6 years and never had a problem with them.

I got a set of Pirelli Scorpion STs off breakers on ebay - bought as a pair and then 2x seperates, all have 5-7mm tread, no damage and the lot cost me under £200 delivered. Well worth doing it that way if you have the time - it took me about a month to get the set (actually got 6 in all now lol). You've just got to make sure there is no damage to the tyre, so examine it thoroughly before fitting, and look for anything untoward when it is fitted.

I've been using secondhand tyres for 10+ years now and only had one duff one which the seller gave a full refund for. Just another option
