Nope i learnt years ago a quality tyre is far superior to a cheap tyre. When i had my old RangeRover i was fitting cheep ass tyres because i was scared i'd tear one off road, they only lasted 3000 miles and were £37 each, a few years later i invested in some Yokohama Geolandar MT tyres and what a difference in the drive, the car was very difficult to keep in a straight line and if the camber on the road changed it was like fighting a shopping trolley with a busted wheel i was terrified to go over 60mph in it, i put the shit handling down to the 6" suspension lift i had fitted but soon realised with the new tyres on i could cruise at 90mph and not have to change my underpants if the camber on the road changed the car was like it was on rails in a straight line still wallowy in the bends but it would go where you pointed it. The Yokohama tyres were £90 each but would last around 11000 miles i would have had to buy almost 4 of the cheap tyres to one of the Yokohama tyres so they might have been cheaper to buy individually but cost more for the mileage life of the tyre

I was just about to say that, put a new tyre on one of the transits last week it was £146, i think Saul is cheeping out and putting car tyres on not van tyres

Oi I said that yesterday. The reason i don't like them is because a few years ago someone in a range rover parked up on a hill in Merthyr and the handbrake released the car rolled down the hill and through a wall killing a little girl. I know it could happen with a normal handbrake i think its less likely https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/pearl-black-inquest-merthyr-updates-15325612

My mate had a BSA C15 when i had the MZ, on the flat they were equally matched and we had great fun racing each other along deserted single track mountain roads but when we hit a hill the MZ would piss all over his C15
-
The other thing i don't like is the electric handbrake i like a lever i can feel is on when i pull it
-
The one i had was my brothers, i found out a few years after i gave it back to him he had scrapped it, didn't even ask if i wanted it the twat.

Yes he's definitely living in the 70's he should move back to the UK because he recons that's where we are heading so he will feel right at home

Not a lover of them myself, Make sure you keep the fobs in a faraday box as they can be scanned from outside your house and your car can be driven off
