remould tyres

The stigma that is attached to remoulds should be removed.  They are now made to the same specs and standards as new tyres as the law changed a couple of years ago on this.

Too true, but like new tyres;

Don't forget to buy them with a suitable speed-rating for the vehicle

This is certainly true, but personaly I still have huge reservations about fitting a tyre to a vehicle with an unknown carcass history. How many miles has that carcass done? What kind of life? How old is it?

It's assuring that they can finally make the tread stick (and even that I'll question having seen some of the delaminations I have) but it addresses little of the underlying structure.

Yes, remoulds are much better than they were, but IMO, they're still not as good as a new tyre.

Disco Inferno:
the stigma attached to remoulds really isn;t necessary

i always run remould gravel tyres on my rally car and hae NEVER had one fail, and given the punishment they get i can't see an issue with them

at 26 quid a corner i don't argue as they only last 1 event for a front pair, and with new tyres costing a 100 quid a corner andonly lasting as long, there isn;t really any argument.
