Dont seach for size, select a centre at top right then when that centres page opens scroll to bottom or use the link that appears at top for sale items. What centre is your nearest?
Thats truro, see the yellow bit hit that. You might need to keep changing the depot but just keep looking at what they have, strangley up here each depot has a diff price for stuff

They are good tyres I’ve had them before but for me they gave a hard harsh ride, I would definitely buy the Michelin cross climates but too expensive…

Now I’m in a pvc I want a softer ride…
When you have tried the Maxxiss let us know the outcome re smooth ride . Van tyres are my next big purchase. Ive got Continentals campers and the ride is harsh to say the least.

I have the continentals, and this is most of the reason I’m changing, they are coming up to 5yrs old but they have several thousands of miles left on them. I’ll let you know how they are as the van is my daily driver now…

Still dropping clangers and making it up as I go along
Popped into ATS today to order 4 Maxxis tyres for the van that they sell on their website, the presumably manager started spouting off that I should get Michelin Agilis tyres and who told me that the maxxis were suitable. Besides me telling him that the ATS website did and many other reviews and recommendations said they are suitable….

Despite the fact that I like a good discussion what really pissed me off was the fact that he was talking to me in a derogatory manner like I was brain dead because I was in a wheelchair, he was talking loudly, slowly and mouthing his words when he suddenly said “ I’m a professional expert “ at that point I just had to tell him to piss off and get out of there before I dragged him over the counter and lumped him…

The last person that spoke to me like that 30yrs ago ended up on the floor with a broken nose…🤬:boxing::boxing:
Did you get the tyres ... 🤷‍♀️

I see what you mean now, but it seems to be odd tyres and there are sometimes several of the same tyres but the price really varies for each one so I suspect that the tyres are of all ages, possibly some 3-5 years old

Some are cheep but it would be pure luck to find 4 of the same tyres but again I suspect they will be over a couple of years old..

It's not so much luck...it's 30/60 minutes of searching several centres stock list....and then having a spot of luck finding your size.... (y)
I posted this last week. (Although you now appear to sorted)

I have 55psi front 60 rear they sit well with not much bulging on the bottom, I did as it happens give it a bit of welly on a couple of corners and all seemed good… I’ve no doubt all new tyres will give a better feel then 5-6yr old tyres that were on there so I would imagine around 6 months to a year you would get a fairer comparison…

What weights are you running axles at, ours is probably sitting at 1700 and 2200kg
