Colway A/T Tyres
Moneypit:
Think Moneypit is going to need new boots before she goes for her MOT in October.
Want to get some A/T and was heavily leaning towards BFG, but can't find the size for my wheels and can't afford new wheels.
Currently have 255/55 R18 wheels with the original Wrangler tyres and have found that Colway do an A/T for this wheel, 255/55 R18 109Q, which I have found for £48 each from Sowden Tyres in Leeds, not sure what fitting, balancing etc will cost.
Not knowing much about the technical aspects of tyres I have some questions/concerns:
1. Will this tyre be the same size as the existing wranglers? herefore won't have to do anything drastic like cut the wheel arches.
2. Anyone know of horror stories/reasons not to get them/use this supplier?
3. Anyone use these tyres? Just how good are they
I tend to drive no faster than about 60/65 on Motorways and use Moneypit to pull a caravan, having been off road just once but intend to do a bit more over time, nothing serious, until I can put some protection in place and afford the repairs.
Any advice/coments and opinions gratefully received.
Cheers

I used Colway A/T 235/70x16 on the Discovery for almost 35,000miles with no issues at all.
They're obviously not going to last as long as as a 'new' tyre' (the BFG A/T's on my 110 measure up at half-worn, compared to a new spare & that's at 50,000miles)
I found them a well-mannered tyres & capable of most things asked of them, so long as you're not too silly; on, or off, tarmac
The size should equate to (give or take a few millimetres) a standard 235/70x16 tyre, as the aspect of the sidewall is lower on the 18"

With comments like;
Currently have 255/55 R18 wheels with the original Wrangler tyres
I'd guess at a Discovery 2, or a P38??
