gtd2000 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'd consider some remoulds if only to wind the people up I work with, who already think I'm crackers. What are they actually like? Are they useable enough for 10k worth of wear or are they likely to go all funny and the tread fall off? I genuinely would like people's thoughts on them here? Only ever had Colways back in the early 90's - false economy is the best way to describe them. Yes they look nice and new but last about 5 minutes.. bangernomics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sawdustman Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Vans look gash on massive alloys and rubber band tyres. What is actual point. It's so you can't hear your radio on the motorway, and to jack your insurance price up £200 a year. That's why my T4 is back on steels Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainrcz Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I had Davanti tyres on my rcz. And yes they were shit. Although same level of shit as the continental that were on the front. Anywhere even slightly greasy and they gave up trying to calculate the coefficient of friction and just sat spinning like demented washing machines.

Rusty_Rocket Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 ^^Deestone are a name from the past! They used to make those awful Land Rover tyres that roared like a jet plane taking off, at anything over 25mph.Tough as old boots and were the tyre of choice off road. I'd imagine the name has been bought by the Chinese? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liggle Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I bought my Bongo on some chinese 'Hi-Fly' tyres, think it must have been imported on them as there was no date stamp on the tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are still based in Thailand, judging by their 'administrative speech'. And photo's of their Thai factories. http://www.deestone.com/WhyDeestone/AboutUs.aspx#.W4-_02aot9A Rusty_Rocket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMC Rebel Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Just fitted a single unmatched Blacklion Champoint to old jaggy. It has two Landsails on the front but they are not long for this world and will be replaced with Blacklion Champoints if there are any more.

JimH Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 A search says not so maybe we haven't had my own personal favourite yet Ling Long I nearly laughed myself sick at the idea of asking a burly tyre fitter to take a look at my Ling Long.

New POD Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I asked for tyre recommendations on the Barryboys forum, years back, and went for these on advice given then. There's probably a much wider choice available now, but I was certainly pleased with the advice. They're not the sportiest choice but we drive on public roads so really extremes of grip is not the main point. We do, however, live in Britain so wet performance is important. I felt that Uniroyals work as advertised and behave very much the same in wet and dry conditions. Tyres are so important to safety and handling, but at safe and normal road speeds there's probably no need to spend a fortune on premium names where a cheaper option will be 90% as good.Ditto. There's four on the omega because wet grading is A That plus traction control* seems to keep it all nice and sensible in the rain. Only had it kick in once in 45k miles and I think I wasn't awake enough to have caught the slide that would have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Honda Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 At Belfast Port, just seen a lorry advertising these Euro Tyfoon https://www.tyfoonbanden.nl : I found a review, which indicated they were utter shite in the wet. bunglebus and clayts450 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
