Joe if they are standard LR 16" wheels you shouldnt have a problem fitting your 205/16 tyres to them and steelies are better for laning as they are easier to repair if you damage them. iirc you can get steel wheels for about a tenner each from breakers if your really stuck.

Most remoulds are fine now but personally I would stay away from colways if your ever offered a set. They went out of production a few years back and most of the ones i have seen are pretty badly perished now. The last set I ran started to melt on the edges and driving a 110 i hadnt been driving quickly.

Guy near me has a set of colway BFG replicas and tread wise they are nearly new but they are perished to hell up close. I didnt realise when I bought mine and they did last a while but as soon as I could I replaced them
 
ah the great remould discussion begins once again..

remoulds got a bad name as wagons used them the most and people would see strips of tread lyin in the side of the road or hanging off a wagon tyre..

and presumed remoulds were bad!!!

this can happen with new tyres..

its caused by gettin a flat and not knowing bout it.. with wagons having twin wheels it was easy to get a flat on an inner tyre and drive round for a long time without realising it..

and the tyre fails, lumps of rubber fly, debri all over the road...

oh it must have been a remould letting go again..

no, its some driver not checkin his tyres regularily.....

here endeth the lesson..... amen..

got no problem with remoulds and have ran many different types. Was just trying to give a warning about a certain make more than anything.

Have experience of Insa, colway, kingpin and a few more that i cant remember the name of and had no problems other than wearing a little faster than normal tyres but that is easily offset by the price factor (think you can have at least 2 sets of insas for the price of one set of bfg).

For road/off road use then i cant say i have noticed a difference, the biggest difference is the tread pattern (road/at/mt) but thats just common sense. Speed ratings arent really a concern as most lrs dont go over 80mph much anyway thanks to aerodynamics of a brick on a skateboard, noise and fuel consumption ;)

I would happily use retreads again on the lr and on most cars with the exeption of performance since i did try a set of fullrun once on an st220 and had them off within a couple of very scary months :eek:
 
Theirs prob good makes and bad.my mate runs insa turbos.not a prob..they do wear quicker..lrm this mth charlie thorns gota section on remoulds

yeh ive got them on a set of es alloys but they toe in a bit because they are 235/16 and me tyres are 205 so i think that if i got some 205 wheels it will open tread up that bit more if you know what i mean and i can put road tyres back on alloys
