--- Quote from: "Range Rover Blues" ---That'a nice price for good quality tyres.  A heated debate is going on in another string about remoulds, you should add your comments there VAM, I've just been quoted Just over £80 each for Good Year all terrains by my local garage, if they're the ones I think they are I'll be in on Monday to order them.

Hello

£80 for Good year AT ? That does sound very Good  :)

I did shop around about on the net before I went to the garage, so I half knew what I was talking about... I beleive that the Marshall and general Kumo sp?) are basically the same tyre - just a different distributor... The letterings the same font and everything.

Will look for the thread  :)

Very true, the Colways I had were newish, the tread was good on them, though there was the odd split but nothing that worrying TBH

We were on the last leg of the journey home from holiday, and had been traveling for 3 hours (M25 M1 not fun)


As Range Rover Blues says, when they go they go, (and that IMHO is the problem with them) -  husband saw the outer rim of the tyre over take us (we were in the middle lane over taking at 65 MPH) then we over took the tyre.

We were soooooo lucky the tyre eventually bounced into the center reservation  and that no one else was hit, I obviously didn't see the tyre shread, but knew we had a flat, when we got out the landy I went into slight shock when I saw what was not really left of the tyre, it's in the garden  ATM Im going to make a feature of it.  :lol:

We reckon we got a puncture  but being remoulds thats why it shredded.

When looking at the other tyres they had  deteriorated too, I check the tyre pressure at least once a fortnight and check the tyres, So I know how much they had been affected by the journey which was a round 300 mile trip ( we were 20 miles from home) with camping stuff  so we were pretty loaded up, but nothing she couldn't handle.
 It was the length of journey plus the extra weight which simply was too much when we got the punture.

I will never use Colways again

HTH

Maybe you should contact Colway (http://www.c-tyres.co.uk/) to see if they'd like to see it!?

As with most things everybody has different experiences which creates varying perceptions of a single product. All anyone can do is listen to as many different views as possible (and this forum is just the place :wink: ) and then decide.

For example, when I was looking to buy a 4x4, someone commented that he had a Discovery and sold it within a few months because of various reasons. Well, I've got one now and absolutely love it :)

Cheers,

I use goodyear AT's on the road and for laning, and have a set of colway mt's on the way for mud, but they can travel to events in the boot.. :)

Think it must have been a carcass that slipped through the net.
After all there is a British Standard to be met for 'remoulded' tyres.

Surely if British Airways, Virgin, Pan-Am, etc...... all land their rather large air-liners on 'remoulded' tyres (barring the economic questions) they must be almost totally safe?
