Winter Snow Tyres question

[Al n Val]

hi everyone

hope your all having a nice weekend

Ok here’s my question, i’ve a tag axel Fiat based motorhome do FWD.

If i wanted to fit cross climate tyres do I just need them on the front driving wheels or has all 6 tyres got to be changed.

Also if fitted on the front do I then need to have snow socks and/or chains onboard to cross into Spain from France.

cheers everyone

Al

I'd bet you get the tyres.
Whether they are genuine or fake, or rejects or not, thats the only question in my mind - as does seem too cheap - and which such items I'd be over them with a fine tooth comb! (and compare with known good).

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against fake/clone - just had deliveries of Braun toothbrush heads and Lego Technical McLaren P1 and Landrover and others bits and bobs from Ali Express (all sold as copy/clone). As well as some nice new undies for the wife who is horrified I bought her XL (Asian sizes, so 10-12 lol).

As this thread goes on, it looks dodgy as **** but I'm not willing to bet either way !

I bought 6 from a guy in Birmingham back in 2019 from ebay for £450 brand new he had loads of them but I did collect them so good deals to be had

Post in thread 'THIS week I bought' https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/this-week-i-bought.45103/post-3540915

 

[gus-lopez]

parcel force charges per 2 were £16.80, whereas a pallet with all 6 on was over £100.

Can he just get them to pick up 5 pallets of two¡s at once?

who is horrified I bought her XL (

I bought off of temu & found all the sizeswere on the large side. I'm now a'medium'

 

[Al n Val]

apparently not, i'm just relaying what he told me, if its a pallet it needs a pallet truck as well which I haven't got

I promise i'll send photo's of how they come......... if they come

As far as i’m aware this isn’t a BF offer, he told me it will be ongoing until he builds his no’s up then get bigger

I wasn’t suggesting your purchase was a BF offer.
You just never know who is buying what for how much

I was just saying generally BF is BS

My tyres from BC were 5% cheaper on BF (15% discount, not 10%) so not BS there....

edit: though paid, and got topcashback paid out already, but not fitted yet so I may be in a worse mess than the OP! Find out tomorrow....

Generally pallet deliveries they will drop on or up a drive.

Once dropped cut open the cling film and take off individually.

We get lots of pallet deliveries to building sites and generally the driver is keen to help to get it off his truck

If anyone is interested, Just had an email from ATS, offering £70 off 4 Michelin tyres.

Carrefour up the road do "specials" regularly
3 for 2
Buy 1 get 70% off the second one .
Trouble is they have increased the price first from what it was. Apparently it isn't illegal here?
You can get some good deals but you have to be aware .

I bought 4 Michelin Crossclimate2 CAMPER tyres from ATS recently. Just £205 each but with a £50 Tesco gift voucher. Fully fitted etc.

ATS is still doing this type of offer but now with an Amazon voucher.
https://www.atseuromaster.co.uk/special-offers/michelin-tyre-offer

I'd rather buy from them and have them fitted, balanced etc. Reputable company, genuine Michelin and fully guaranteed.

6 x 200 =1200
6× 120 = 720

I know where I'd rather buy them

 

[Silver-Fox]

Fair play to you and good spot.

I wouldn’t have any hesitation buying from this supplier.
He’s obviously happy with his margins and your happy at a very reasonable price

Are you saying these arnt genuine Michelin tyres??

 

[activecampers]

Have you compared to "known good" - e.g. are all the little logos present and the depth markers same etc?
Certainly nothing jumps out to me from the pics.

(My Black Circle experience was fine this morning, continental vanco 4season 225/75/16 @ £202ea fitted)

 

[gus-lopez]

genuine Michelin and fully guaranteed.

how do you know though?

I would bet that the ATS tyres are genuine.
