Hello all , I had chance this morning to do a little check around ROSIE , our caravan . On checking the tyres I noticed the sidewall rubber is starting to crack , they are neary 5 years old so maybe expected . Phoned round the local tyre suppliers to check prices , tyres being 175r13c load 94n Avon supervan 6 ply fitted at present . Out of four suppliers only one had Avons , £ 65.00 each fitted + £ 10.00 due to tyron bands each . thats 150.00 nicker , but two places had Maxxis tyres 8 ply 97s load , so these sound better and cheaper . One quoted £ 98.00 a pair + £ 20.00 fitting ( tyron bands ) the other £ 42.00 each with no change for tyron bands refitting , you can guess my choice . I would prefer a known brand but have read other posts on the difficulties of better brands not producing these commercial van tyres any more . So I ask . are Maxxis tyres any good and does anybody recommend them , all answers greatfully received ( tugging forelock ) --- Steve .
PS tyron bands are already fitted so the price is for necessary additional time taken , so they say , I say robdogs .
PPS forth supplier had Champiro tyres , never heard of them ,and every question I asked he had no idea and kept asking someone else with dubious replies , so discounted them , mind you £ 37,00 each .
