Ok got a brand new spare on a brand new alloy.
It's a michelin synchrome 255 55 19 111h

My dilemma is this
I need 2 new front tyres,
But both of the fronts would be ok as a spare.
So in theory I only need one tyre because I can use the michelin that is my brand new spare!

So, I have searched for a Michelin synchrome and they are no longer made( rocking horse **** springs to mind)

Does anyone have one that they want to sell me?

Or can you source me one from somewhere.
 
I've got a Michelin on my spare, part used but still plenty of tread, but don't know if it's a synchrome. Will go out in the morning and check..cos it's dark and snowing like buggery here at the mo. If it is a synchrome, I'll let you know in the morning.

Nice one
How part worn is it?
 
If it is gonna be a spare....the make wouldn't matter surely...cos when the main goes pop...fit spare....replace main with same make as spare....swap other main for new spare to match the axle up....and keep the previous main now as a spare until the next goes pop, then replace as per....
 
Nope it's not going to be a spare.
My spare is brand new.
My two fronts are nearly knack erred.
I want to save a few quid and use the brand new spare on the front and buy the matching michelin.
Or flog the brand new michelin and put two generals on front axle
 
Not too bad from what I recall, but will get pics for you tomoz and post them. As I said, it's a michelin tyre, but don't know if it's a synchrome, will check in the morning. I've got a full set of Marshal Matrac tyres on the road wheels at the mo...not my choice but that's what the motor came with.

Will let you know more in the morning.

Detailed information on tyres by brand name and model patterns - Michelin Synchrone 4x4

Try the link above, great all round tyres have 4 on mine but difficult to source
 
Checked the spare I've got and it's a Lattitude, not a Synchrone. Got some wear on it, but it seems more worn on the inside.

Sorry bout that, but you might be able to get a Synchrone off the Bay.
