can get a set of 4 for 320 quid from uptotheaxles.com just wodered if anyone knew anything
 
Oddly enough i was looking at them last night..there aren't a lot of reviews but the ones i found were positive..good all terrain tyre with fast delivery, price looks nice too...

google 'em and see.
 
did all that they are an Italian tyre specialist company who make tyre making equipment amongst other things - their tyres are all retreads most people are scared of retreads but I use them on planes all the time they are usually good for a retread 6 or 7 times. It would make sense on the pricing also read that in the UK a retread has to conform to the same performance standards as new. I was going to put grabbers on but cant get hold of any might just go for these panthers for the winter 124 quid for grabbers 80 quid for panthers like buy 3 get one free
 
Golly..surely even Ryanair doesn't use 4x4 re-treads on their planes...??

But yeah..re-treads have to conform..£80 a corner...depends how extreme you gonna get with them.
 
not really budget driven its just the Jock in me as for airlines yep they all use retrads ba klm sin qantas all the american carriers they were also used on Concorde I put them on a DC10

They are re-treads..but if if he does low mileage they'll last him 3 or 4 years..
 
I would only use them from now till spring so maybe 5k a year I have 19s with Wrangler F1s for road use

I think Ryanair would re-use the toilet paper if they could get away with it, or at least have a coin slot on the paper dispenser.

If Michael O'leary reads this - I'm only joking.
 
We occassionaly use retreads on our trucks and in my opinion they out last the budget "new" tyres

Hi, I have ordered a set of 4 (235/70/16) fro my 95 discovery, I too was a bit unsure about remould quality but I have to say they look fine but time will tell. M/S tyres up here are scarce at the moment so with another wave of snow due tonight I thought cant be all that bad especialy for £280 Inc.VAt fitted at Newlife Tyres, Edinburgh.
 
I would hope that aircraft tyers dont get kerbed that often though :p

Always scares me that the very thin non steel reinforced side walls get re-used
