Tyres

Just had a call from Paddocks to say that the Colway MT's I'm after are
going to be at least a two week wait.

Can anyone recommend an alternative cheap tyre, or a supplier who has
some Colways?

I've heard good things about Colways from several people and really wanted
them but if I can't get them I'll need something else. I was having them
fitted onto 7x16 modulars to replace the XPC's on wolf rims I've got now.

Anyone?

After speaking to the above and some other names from the mags it would
appear that no-one has any 235/85/16 Colways MT's! I've been given lead
times of between one and seven weeks. The guy at Sowden tyres said he has
had no end of calls for the Colways.

So I've gone for some Greenway chaco's on silver modulars instead from Tyres
Direct. Slightly more expensive but at least I could get them. Apparently
they come from the same factory as the Colways so I'm hoping they'll be OK.
They're a similar pattern to the Colways with slightly deeper tread.
