yeah they seem cheep just not sure how long they will last being second hand, what do tyres normally come with new 8mm?

just dont want to buy them then end up having to buy new ones after next winter when the wheels go on again

Most new tyres come with approx 8mm of tread so those are hardly worn in  :smiley:

I presume they are the same width etc as what you've currently got? Otherwise you're speedo will be out  :nerd:
