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

warch Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 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...
