What tyres?

[ZorroReturns]

I ask for your view as i need to buy 4 tyres for 8Jx17.

I'm after this size 225width/35height/17inch rim.

Any places that offer good value, other than mytyres which are not the cheapest on this size.

thanks

Re: What tyres?

What sort of tyre are you after and where do they have to be and what guide price? Micheldever are normally quite good but my local tyre shop would do 4 Hancooks for £300.

The Hancooks are a Y extra load.

I'm a tyre nutcase. By that, I mean that I'd rather pay £150+ per boot and know that I've got the best rubber 'tween me and the road, and if I'm forced to change a tyre on one side (say, puncture) I'll replace the opposing one too. Am I unusual in that respect?
