Moneypit:
Sorry Guys :oops:

BTM is correct, Moneypit is a 2001 D2 TD5 XS.

Named because I seem to spend most of my cash keeping her on the road, a small Mazda at the last count, but I have the belief that one day she will be perfect, well at least most of her will work.

ChrisW:
With the comment re 18" wheels I had a feeling it was something along those lines  :wink:
Purely my own thoughts... I was reasonably happy to run my Disco on Colway AT's - had them on for about 18months before I upgraded to BFG AT's (swapped as they were a bargain off ebay and 245/75's compared to the 235/70's I was running).

However, there was always the nagging doubt with regards to the old remould debate in the back of my mind. Saying that, I've had more problems with 'proper' tyres than the Colways.

Cost is an argument, but if a Colway does 25k miles at 50quid a pop and a BFG does 50k miles at 100quid a pop what is the difference? Other than the BFG's are a first generation tyre.

Personally I would be happy with a remould tyre on a weekend plaything but everyday transport doing lots of miles I'm far far happier on the BFG's.

Can...worms...open... :lol:

LandRoger:
The Colway AT is an exellent tyre on/off road ,have done thousands of miles on them-they do wear quicker than a :new tyre: ,Colway produce tyres for Rally cars -some with twice the BHP than your average 4x4 and have won many championships,not cheap and nasty -but a good retread with a good speed rating, Mark Sowden is a nice guy to do buisness with
will even give a dicount to Mud-Club members, he is a member himself,

One further consideration to this is that if you are planning any serious off roading then the Colway might be a better bet  as a cut in the sidewall for example means a £50 tyre ruined as opposed to £100 down the drain, just something else to consider  :wink:

defenderdan:
I think BFG's do considerably more than 50k miles.  That said i'm after an inexpensive set of at's so i'll be sticking colways on.
