Title: Road/Off road Tyres recomendations
Post by: carbore on July 18, 2008, 18:58:33

I need new tyres, but but the original Michelin Syncros are no longer available (allegedly). The replacements are Micelen Latitudes but these look much more road based than that originals.

Thing is my bus spends most of its time up and down the mway etc, but also the odd wet field and possibly towing on wet grass (Track day car) so I need a real all rounder. And I need high speed rating as I use all that BMW TD4.

Any suggestions

Falken seem to be OK at reasonable price
