what company is best for supplying and fitting cheap tyres..

Post by Jay18 » Mon Sep 09, 2013 5:12 pm

as most of you have probably seen i done a 180 in my SJ last week and need to get a new set of tyres to help prevent it from happening again..

im looking for a set of tyres as cheap as possible but that will be good and give me good grip, peferably AT's as id like to take it offroad but not sure baout doing that at the moment with the old road tyres..

i found these... what are your thoughts? not sure if they supply and fit them though :/..
http://www.4x4tyres.co.uk/265-70-15/265 ... -4999.html

the tyres im running now are 255 60 R15, i would like a set of 255 70 R15's i knew the ones above are 265 but they are cheap..

or i found these which are cheaper than normal road tires but are they legal for on road use and are they good? or will i just wear them down in a matter of months cause of them being big and knobly?

http://www.4x4tyres.co.uk/255-70-15/255 ... -2038.html

if anyone else finds a place selling 255 70 R15's for cheap please let me know...

many thanks.. James..

EDIT: forgot to put link for knubbly tires..

There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
