Check out this balding and cracked beauty on a BMW.

I’d like to add these, owned by a work colleague who has on numerous occasions ripped the piss out of me for driving a Kia cee’d as my daily driver, and for owning 2 old fiats.

The old Audi blew up, and when it come to replacing it, it had to be another Audi because they are the best cars in the world apparently, this one looked after meticulously by the looks of it.

ZEETEX should only be fitted to Fords Shirley?

Anyway you shouldn't be Laufenn at his tyres

I come not to resurrect this thread, but to win it.

How about a Galaxy "The Beefy Baby III" tyre for your JCB 😂

A hire freighter turned up on Friday. It had this quality rubber fitter.

The truck retread division of Bridgestone no less. Back in the 80's it was regular to see a truck sporting an "I'm running on Bandags" sunstrip.

Stolen from one of the advert for some Chinese EV on the Moderns section

Weirdly not a Chinese brand, Indonesian/Singaporean. More commonly seen over here as GT Radial.

Spotted on a pretty powerful looking Mustang at a meet the other weekend. Lots of money for the engine, less so for the bit that grips?

One of the high quality* Tyres that came on the Mini.

Tried to take a sneaky pic of this as the Mrs knew the owners -  Iota

 

[Pauly.22]

I’ve got some Le-gripps or something on my car. Just ordered some new tyres though now. 

[HMC]

My ropey saab 9-5 has some interesting brands. “Royal explorer II” sounds like a boat’s name which somehow doesnt inspire much confidence. 

Ditch ahoy!

My friend still has some ancient “TIGAR” covers on his little used triumph stag. He said its tail happy (!)

Apparently owned by michelin since 2010. His tyres are definitely from the earlier Serbian owned days.

Maybe going to do burn outs. Not much point in buying premium.
