Oh I understood the question, I was making sure I'd got the right firm. So, on to business, unlike you I know how to make google find the answers I (or in this case - you) want...

Try these for personal feedback fer starters:

Talk Audio Forums - View Single Post - Remoulds - Good or bad? Positive reference re Kingins on a Susuki SJ410

Tyres-Online Forum Negative feedback from Neil Taylor (about 1/5th of the way down)

Let me know if you'd like me to find some more for you...

As for buying them - you're in N Wales aren't you? Shropshire is a stones throw then and they're based in... err... Shrophire. After all they're remoulds... I'd guess pretty much any tyre dealer in or around Shropshire would be able to get them, provided they have an account with Kingpin.

Failing that - ring them and ask if they have a stockist near you, their number is: (01939) 232 156[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]

Cheers,
 
well yes i could have got that info, i was asking if anyone on this forum had any experience of them, lets face it, neil taylor could be one of those people that is never happy no matter what he has, the other bloke could be an owner of kingpin. yes they are in shropshire which is only down the road and i could drive for an hour to pick em up, thats not rerally the issue here tho is it ;)
 
yella that 200tdi that I sold recently had them on it when I first got it, seemed to hold the road no problem in the wet so must be ok in the dry. The tread pattern was the old Michelin.
 
cheers stig, i was talking to the lad thats got em on his disco this morning,he thinks they are 25 quid each from a garage near him, looks like the series is avin em ;)
 
got a set on me disco, mine are the mud tyres and the only thing i would complain about is they seem quite hard, if you spin the wheels up in the mud and it bites on something hard it seems to just rip a chunk of tread off, theres not much give in them, the insa turbo's on me rrc seem to be bit softer and longer lasting, not much more money either.
 
As long as you're not bothered about grip they're okay. Last for absolutely ever but terrible grip in the wet or dry. What you'd expect from a super hard compound remould tyre at the end of the day
 
i have had em on cars in the past last for ever but dont go round corners to good and bloody noise
prob ok on 4x4 if driven normal i.e bumbling about and not much mway driving
 
Jeez, it must have needed a big battery to jump start this old thread!!! :doh:
