What brand Tyres
« on: July 07, 2010, 05:20:30 PM »
Hey guys i was just wondering what brand of tyres you are all running?
I'm having trouble finding wider tyres to suit the deep dish mags.
I'm looking at BF Goodrich or Cooper but they are expensive.
So what are people using, are there any brands that are rubbish or fantastic?
Where is the best place to find wider tyres?
Any input would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

i've found some m/thompsons 295-50-15 on ebay for $198ea +freight and fitting
are these tyres good for mileage or are they purely performance tyres?

I have used them in the past and found them to be good. But will now only use Toyo tyres as I have found the to be a little better, but only my thoughts.............
