dozeydustman Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 The garage whacked a pair of Invovic EL601 on the Saab. Sounds like something you’d hear on Shooting Stars Crackers, coachie, juular and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3VOM Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I'm pretty sure Rainman Ray on YouTube was working on something with Mavis All Seasons on it. Which sounds like a mature, hardy, hooker. 5speedracer and Shep Shepherd 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmolloy1 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Just got 2 tyres fitted, asked for budget ones which the guy said were called 'imperial'. Went back to collect and the tyres have no name on them whatsoever! Guy I dealt with was nowhere to be seen so went on my way.

mcmolloy1 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I've got davantis on the front. They're not bad overall but they were £100 each about 2 years ago so not cheap either Rocket88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedracer Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I actually priced Davanti All Season recently and they were not cheap, got Good Year Vector 3 cheaper. Few reviews on the Davanti but plenty of good ones on the GY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leakingstrut Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Walked past a Chinese Takeaway today called the Golden Crown. Which is also a brand of tyre on one of the bin lorries at work. I don’t know what the thinking is with the council buying tyres - sometimes they get premium brand and other times they get ditchfinders, on the same vehicle.

Presumably you have a buyer who knows something about tyres and another who thinks they’re all just the same rubber rings. Where I used to work, the purchasing manager was a nightmare , always justifying his decision to buy the cheapest possible items with the line , they’re all the same. Star items were non stick masking tape and dissolvable rubber gloves. leakingstrut, mat777, Rust Collector and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be prepared for a traffic jam of bin lorries stranded by their cheap black rings of fear, following the lead of Putin and Co. leakingstrut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designed in Europe but made in some state of the art cheap factory in China. That's an interesting* job designing tyres. Unless we're talking compounds and stuff like that, most of the groundwork has been pretty much laid out; shape 'yep', size(s) 'yep' colour 'any colour as long as its black haha'. Just invent some grooves to go on the outside and a silly name to go on the sides and we're in business. ETA, I imagine 60% of the designer's time goes on coming up with a suitable name, Manfat, Faststone, Clitway etc. 5speedracer and Shep Shepherd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
