Damaged tyre - spoiled a set - Grrrr

dfossil · Jul 20, 2021

I have a nice matched set of Michelin Latitude Tour HP 225 55 101H extra load tyres - and I have just damaged one. They seem to have been superceded by other styles and I know from previous experience that different Michelin styles in the same size can have different rolling radii - not good for a Freelander 1 !!!
Does anyone have one of these with 6mm or more? (left over perhaps from matching up their own set with other style of tyres)
I would buy a pair if I found them as the spare is not great
All the suppliers are saying no stock and Mich don't list them any more on their website

How much/ how bad is the damage?

A bit of cracking on the tread following a surprise runflat after I didn't tighten up my tyre pressure sensor enough after changing the battery -

Oops, definitely not repairable of it's been driven while flat

How old are the tyres?

2014 - but it was a nice sound matched set with plenty of tread and no visible wear or degradation - didn't envisage buying a replacement set for a while - don't do many miles any more

Checking Ebay may be your best bet. I had to do that very thing on my FL2, as it came with 3 identical and almost new matching tyres, and 1 odd tyre on its wear indicators, which I think the seller swapped before I picked it up.

what do you have as a spare? could you use that and get something else in place as a new spare?

Yeah - thought I'd try here first - last time I did Teddywood1 came up with a nearly brand new pair and I passed on an excellent Michelin Synchrone to someone else to solve his problem
