I could use your sage advice, ladies and gents:
Udo's tyres are in good tread (6mm), but are 10 years old with a 'perished' inner rear tyre advisory according to the MOT station.
They're Michelin Agilis all round.
So I'm of the mind that they may as well all be replaced before I start using him this year, including the spare.
The great oracle of all things RMB, Dave, recommends Firestone Vanhawk.
I've always liked Michelin car tyres as they appear a cut above many other brands.
The tyre fitter I spoke to recommends Bridgestone as they, apparently, have very thick sidewall rubber.
Now, I did a search on here and found alarming stories about Bridgestone in the cold.
Michelin appear very good from the online reviews.
But the Firestone's get by far the best online reviews and are the cheapest. And they have Dave's high praise.
But before I make any decision, I thought I'd ask the MHFun collective.
Cost isn't the decider here. It's safety, longevity, dependability and they've got to be black and rubber and round.
Any thoughts, advice or pearls of wisdom?
