Yeah .. but it's around 54 times LESS than what my current RR cost me..... :oops:  :roll:

Hovis:
I've got Broncos on my SJ, it doesn't go quick enough to cause problems with peel and it spends 90% of its time in mud.

I'd never have remolds on my car.

jjsaul:
well im fairly happy with my machos....ive had far more than the national speed limit out of them (on a private road of course :wink: ) for fairly long periods and they dont get even get especially warm.

Edge:
As for the speed rating..... in one of the "many" previous posts on the subject.... someone pointed me to the fact that the speed rating must be to the legal road speed limit..... not the top speed of the vehicle.
I'll do a search for the legal write up on it..........

Here we go......

REGULATION 25 :
This Regulation is concerned with the tyres load index and speed ratings. It specifically deals with, items such as the tyres fitted to Goods Vehicles, Buses and Trailers and for which a Ministry Plating Certificate must have been issued, and a Ministry Plate attached to the vehicle. Amongst other vehicle information the Plate, which must be securely attached to the vehicle in a conspicuous location, gives the maximum axle and gross vehicle operating weights. The Regulation requires that the tyres fitted to the vehicle are not only capable of supporting the maximum permitted load on each axle but of doing so at the vehicle’s maximum legal speed. In defining “load–capacity index” and “speed category” the Regulation makes reference to UN ECE Regulations 30 and 54 and to the European Union Directive 92/23/EEC.

You'll notice 3rd line up..... "vehicle's maximum LEGAL speed".

remould tyres have to pass safety tests, and speed ratings.
remould tyres are available for sports vehicles.
colway make a full range of 'rally' remould tyres(that sporty enough for ya?)
remould tyres are available for sports motorbikes.
the majority of heavy goods tyres in UK are remoulded
the majority of bus/coach tyres in UK are remoulded
aircraft(jet) tyres are remoulded
remoulding tyres is the 'green' option
remoulded tyre carcasses are fully inspected before remoulding
Personally Ive got 20k miles from a set of colway MT's, before discarding(still with about 5mm tread but now not so good off road)

I feel happy with remoulds, if its a personal choice, then OK, but if its safety/wear/speed/environment, then Id say go remould......
