remoulds - opinions please!
Dr Neil:
i use Colway MT's on my Disco,done about 3000miles upto now ples another couple of thousand when they were on the series 3.Though i probably wouldn't want them on if i was using it every day at motorway speeds, for my use they are fine and at motorway speeds had no problem!!The plus side is that as i use it mainly for off roading i'd sooner slash/ruin a tyre costing £45 than £100+.
As others have said i believe they are well made now and have to meet stringent tests now(not all admittedly).
At the end of the day the decision is yours and the bank managers :wink:

I run Colway A/T's (in a 235/70 size) on the Discovery & have zilch, zip, zero problems with them in the (about) 27,000miles they've fitted.
Admittedly I've had one new tyre, but that was due to it puncturing on the very confluence of the tread/sidewall; thus not considered a safe repair.
They've coped with everything from clay, rocks, mud, motorways, (admittedly I don't often do more than 60mph) towing both the BWSOW & Ifor-Williams, a 16foot
transporter trailer.
Good road manners, with very little noise & good levels of grip.
I had a set of the Bronco M/T's (235/85's) on my 110Tdi & they were beyond reproach (even at 80mph on Welsh mountain roads, near Sweet Lamb)
They only let me down enough to seriously worry me once. Pendine Sands (before the vehicular ban) when it bogged 3mils up the beach, just below the high-tide mark & the tide coming in :(scared):
Jas278:
Some opinions seem to focus on "cheap to replace if damaged" you have still got to get to where you are offroading . Also if you like rocks like the peak district a quality tyre is probably going to withstand more so it may well be faulse economy using cheap tyres , BUT everybody has there own choice.I had nothing against remoulds until I had a near life threating incident with the "bears toenails" hence never again will I compromise my safety for the sake of a few quid, ............4 x bears toe nails on rims £530.00 5 x BFG m/ts on rims £630.00 .. which is the best deal ?
Jim-Willy:
Wouldn't use remoulds of a brand i didn't know but the quality remoulds are fine as already stated.
colintandy:
