Good afternoon Funsters,
I have been to the weighbridge and got both axles independently weighed
Full tank of diesel and also water
The usual kit , nothing OTT
Front axle1660 kg , rear 2400 kg
The web site says front 47 psi , rear 80 psi
The website also said that the rear axle was close to an unsafe weight
Any thoughts
Best wishes

I have the Michelin Agilis 225/75 R16 Q116 CP tyres. These are no longer manufactured and they have moved to the Crossclimate with a completely different tread. I do have a never used one on my spare and have been trying to source another to make a pair without much luck. Michelin info on the tyres states they were specifically designed for Motorhome’s that stand unused for long periods. Info on their other tyres would suggest that is the only advantage of a CP marked tyre. Because of that they were £40-50 more expensive than the Michelin Agilis 121 rated non CP marked tyres which are more than capable of doing the job and still available, but might perish more quickly if stood for long periods?? Or are we just being conned into buying the more expensive CP marked as good practice is to change them every 5 years anyway.

I've got an unused Michelin Agilis 225/75 R16 CP for sale in Classifieds. We bought it as a spare but have never needed it.

Tried looking through classifieds but gave up after about 20 pages. Difficult to pin down a tyre. What year of manufacture, what price and where are you based?

Would be ideal and if it’s never been used I’d happily pay £100. Difficult part is delivery or pick up. In Yorkshire and done our travelling south for this year. Any chance that you are travelling north at some stage or would you be willing to meet M1 around Donington services?

Manufacture date week 25 of 2021. We're in South Staffs, but could take it to Malvern show in August. Looking for £100.

Not going to Malvern show so that won’t work for us. We are heading to Conwy, Wales next weekend and looking at Google could maybe meet you at J 16 on the M6 Sunday morning?? Would that work for you?
Looks like I’m messaging with two people Bellabee and Tigger Tim but it also looks like it’s the same tyre?
