Hi
Does anybody know if you can get some cheap Chinese sweatshop type tires with the same tread as the 'Avon traction milage' (the ones which were origionaly fitted) tires?
Thanks

I looked at the paddocks site and they dont have any I want. One of the tyres fitted to my landy is a Deestone extra traction. Where could I get some?

Mine is on Deestones too. They are well hard to find! I managed to get 2 from someones un-used landy at a farm (just asked him for them - gave him a tenna!)

They seem good but aren't very good on the road in the wet! Make sure they are on correctly too - i didn't realise they were directional!

ive got those on me 110.i think they are the same pattern as the army extra traction ones made by goodyear, but i doubt those'll be cheap!they make a racket on the road, sounds like me landy is propeller powered!

I think you're right, they do look remarkably similar to the Goodyear ones.

Yes, damn loud - but i like that on a landy as you know its on 'off-road' tyres and therefore means business!!

Ive got Deestone Extra Tractions on the rear of my S3 SWB at the moment. I really like them!

Would love to get hold of another three, but as previously said, I cant seem to find anywhere that does them!

Any Ideas?
