RSR tyres. Top guys.  :smiley: Tell them what you want or price wise ,the cheapest and take your pick.  :whistle: £40 a tyre i picked for my 18" alloys. They should last me 8 years or more ,there been on 5 years and look new . :grin:

The only reason i went cheap was i got a set of 4 advanti racing alloys that cost £700. Thats with the tyres price added to them . Love the tyres in the dry , rain you just take it easy same as snow.  :whistle:

8 years??  :shocked:  I'm lucky if I keep my tyres for a year and I only do about 6,000 miles.

thats what i was thinking. to last 8 years you must be doing like 2000miles a year?

sure tyres are supposed to be replaced after 2 or 3 years?

tyres usually last me a year due to milage i do.

i always use camskill or my tyres or black circles cause they do free fitting with numerous tyre shops over the country.

Im hoping they will last that long as they still look like new. Its only because there a hard rubber not soft for good performance. Don't laugh there doublestar ds810.

Hey everyone thanks for the recommendations, I have looked around and found this site and got them from there just because they are cheap, simple to use and go the extra mile to make sure the job is done. I highly recommend them.

I wouldn't ever trust a tyre older than 5 years old.
