Can anyone recommend a tyre dealer in the north west?
On checking vehicle over ready for its first major trip next month I have discovered cracking on all the tyres round the tread area.:Sad:
Not a happy bunny :Sad:as I was assured that the tyres were all fine when I bought it in November (it had just been mot'd)
Just been told that the tyres were actually manufactured in 2005:Eeek:
Going to be an expensive mistake on my part taking their word as its a twin rear wheel vehicle.
I was given warranty but f course it doesn't cover tyres.

You won't get camper tyres for your Transit.
Luckily though, 185/75x16 is a popular commercial size. We shod ours with 6 Yokohama all season tyres for £82 a tyre.

Try black circles.com
