They look the business too. Concerns are the tyres have seen less than 1500miles and are falling apart - they are truly crap and over priced for remoulds. The was a 5th tyre but it de-laminated within 2 weeks, sidewall swelled up like balloon and exploded - it's sitting in my garden with pretty much virgin tread on it and a 2 foot hole in side. I know I am not the only one out there that had these tyres fall apart. Cost me nothing so I not bothered. Might as well get www.marix.it Lion tyres from Sowden tyres which look exactly same tread insa special tracks but cheaper price - they can't be any worse quality.

That's exactly my opinion on Insa Dakars. I've had two new tyres under guarantee as one had a blowout at about two days old and another started to show serious delamination. Going for Kumho KL71s in 245/75 R16 as soon as I can afford to, snag is that I'll need a set of five as they're bigger...

If you must buy Insas then look at Paddock as their after sales has been brilliant - on both occasions the tyres were replaced FOC after I emailed them a photo of the problem, with the arrangement being "let us know when you've swapped them and we'll send the courier back for the faulty one". They certainly stand behind what they sell, I just wish the product was worthy of their service!
