Hi
I get tyres from this guy:
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/The-Tyre-Depot ... =416822389
I only use 15" as the roads are bad here, and tyres are dear...including post, it's still cheaper than buying here.
Maybe a local dealer can supply the same tyres...
Cheers
Helen

From £50 here,

but you'll need to pay about £10-15 per tyre to get them fitted and balanced.

Still a lot less than £160 though.

£62 fitted here

The toyo were mid range pirelli top range they can do a budget but iam not keen..

tbh they will curse me when they start to do this!! these wheels are a pain to work on.They took ages last time..

Hi
Maxxis
http://www.maxxis.com/
I've never bought them....but I buy the cheapest...roads are bad here....I must get some photos up soon...Even off-road lorries don't drive on them...they (******) up tyres like nobody's business...most people locally drive on the fields rather than the roads

Cheers

That is a bargain for four quality tyres.....I'd rip their arm off at that price....

Ha ha the 161 was perilli and that was EACH!!!!

chipvan · Post by **chipvan** » Thu Apr 21, 2011 2:33 pm

prices each so far

budget sunny,or zetec 64

mid range toyo 120

top end 161 pereili

but my mate who is normally is captain safety said he uses budget on his t4 vw van..

looking at some of the reviews on sunny tyres say not good on wet and as bongo is rwd maybe not a good idea.

our front ones are road legal at the moment but expect them to be old..rated 93v so not really good enough for bongo.

may just put new rear ones on to get through mot

Hi
Type 4 isn't a Bongo...Sunnys work fine on mine...wet, snow, dry...and if I get too many punctures, chucking them isn't a loss

Cheers
