Give Saxon Gate Motors in Sandy a call. Quick service and always cheapest place i have found. I got a set of General Grabbers ATs supplied and fitted for cheaper than what i could buy them for elsewhere.
 
I have run Insa Turbo, Special tracks for 5 years now. They have competed at trials and challenges and I even swapped them onto a classic RR and drove 1600 miles to compete in the French Alps. On the motorways we sat at 80mph in convoy and other than the noise they were perfectly okay. They are now on my CCV trialler and still going strong.
There is nothing wrong with remoulds as they have to meet stringent manufacturing standards.
 
Stronger chance they will delaminate.

Tyres and brakes are your life. You should always buy the best you can afford IMHO.

Sorry but i call BS, these days remoulds are as good as anything else as long as you stay within the max stated speed and loads for them, i have run insa for a long time on various landies and never had a problem but then i dont believe the hype re new versus remoulds, if i was running a road going motorway mile munching hi speed motor i wouldnt do remoulds but as i drive a 2 tonne off roader that does some occasional road miles (approx 4000 a year) then remoulds are fine by me.
 
the only 2 tyres ive seen delaminate was both remoulds, one an insa special track and the other a van tyre,,
so I think there must be more risk from a remould, but I still use remoulds
 
All lorry tyres preety much are remoulds and they do thousands and thousands if miles

The compound may be abit softer but this gives you more grip
 
Tyres direct luton. Got mine there. Good price and loads in stock. Worth a drive out to see what you want.

I completely disagree, but each to their own. :)

As someone who drives a truck I can tell you that there are good remoulds and bad, Michelin will make a new tyre, then remould it four times under the Michelin brand, then the same casing will go to Encore who will remould it a further four times, then it will go to Bandvulc who will remould it (used by Tesco wagons) then it will be remoulded by Bandag. At which point the tyre fitters refer to them as party poppers as they do like to disintegrate. At all points of the casings life it meets the quality criteria, but I know which tyre I'd rather have...

Personally the only two things I wouldn't scrimp on are tyres and brakes, pretty much everything else if it fails doesn't end in a crash. Just my two penneth worth..........
