Ouch!! (Tyres)

[Fazerloz]

This could go on for ever. To my mind, if the tyres are correct size and meet the axle load ratings and have any other qualities you may need (3 peaks maybe) then I don't see a problem.

Pay yer money, job done. But it's a Barry+Tyres thread so it will rumble on and on or is that just exwindsurfer's wheel bearings.

so my question is, I see more and more van conversions running on heavy steel wheels (usually black) and 'off road' tyres, I like the effect but doubt I'd like the tyre noise but from owning 4x4's I know these are not very weight bearing and are usually run softer, can we fill another 8 pages with everyones views on this please?

My AT tyres have a 120/116 load index, so pretty much = to most 16" C tyres and more than most CP tyres, the latest CP tyres may match them.
Anyway, more than required for 3500KG vans.

This thread will last longer than the tread on the tyres.

Did you try blackcircle tyres for a price?
230 ouch!!!

Black circles are cheap for a reason, check the dates I bet they are more than a year old.

Be even more careful with National Tyres, a couple of years back they tried to give me tyres that were over 3 years old, thankfully i`ve always asked to see them before they are fitted.

The guy told me that the tyres were new because they had not been fitted so the date only started on the day they were fitted, he was not a happy chappy when i explained i knew exactly what the DOT code was and meant. I refused them and had to contact customer services to get my money back because i`d paid for them online using a promo code.

Many tyre co give false infor on tyre tread depth.

Might be because they are owned by Michelin....
