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

Might be an idea :) But I bet they've seen it happen before, and as the tyres came with the landy I have no idea how old they where or how many miles they had done and under what conditions. Or even if they had been on my Landy from new.
Besides it's a bit mudd covered and my Daff's are going to look great! :lol:

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 :)

Couldn't agree more, this is 'just' my experience, which I know is very limited, Iv'e only had the landy 18 months, but from my experience I'll never trust Colway again - maybe I was 'just' unlucky, who knows ?
This forum is great :) , I think you do need as much advice from people with different experiences as possible, to then help make up your own mind.
TBH brutally honest If I had have listened to the advice I got from people when thinking about getting the landrover I'd have run a mile and got a 'nice proper' car :wink:

Thank you everyone for your advise and replies. I think I will start off with buying 2 at tyres for the front wheels as I am possibly going off roading this weekend for the first time and the front tyres are at the legal limit so there isn't much grip so would be a high chance of getting stuck every 2 minutes. As for remoulds or not. I have heARD some bad stories and as someone said all the airlines use them and when concordes tyres blew it did do some damage as we all know but that was 1 out of loads of planes with loads of wheels.
I shall let everyone know what I think with the tyres when I get them.
Range Rover Blues:
Firstly aircraft tyres are designed with a specific life in mind and that CANNOT be exceeded, no matter how many new skins the tyre has and secondly I think most people would be shocked to know how many aircraft tyres blow out whilst in use.
Plus most of the work is done by the engines acting on the air, both accelerating and braking (and in a straight line).
Did you know that aircraft tyres sometime end up as climbing boots?
muddyjames:
I didn't know that tyres ended up as walking boots!!!
Everything you say does make me woried about remoulds and I have always been cautious about them and whenever I buy a new car or caravan the first thing I do is change the tyres as I have no idea how old or condition they are in hence why I put this forum up.
I have spoken to a chap round my way who has a small tyre business and he can do 2 brand new croos ply AT tyres balanced and fitted at my house for £112 which I am going ahead with.
