One from the 'choose something from a list of vaguely trustworthy sounding generic names and hope people make the right associations' school of marketing.

Looking forward to seeing Montgomery, Mainwaring and Harris tyres to appeal to the patriotic British market.

warch Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Bingo! My eyes lit up when I spotted budget tyres on the maintenance form for Mrs warch’s new (well 2020) whip. A pair of the recently mentioned Churchills on the front… and a brace of the fabulously named Autogreen Sport Cruisers on the rear. willswitchengage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a Lanvigator Performax H/T fitted to use as a spare today. In fairness I did ask my local tyre place for the cheapest 245/65 R17 they had, hopefully we won't need to use it. warch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
