Our Carthago is now at the point where the front tyres need replacing, they have about 2mm max tread and as we're planning on having a 2 month holiday from mid-May we need to change them (rears are around 5mm).
We have Michelin Agilis camping ones (225/75/16 CP 116R) but these have been superseded by their cross climate ones although we may be able to still get the same as we have.
Were thinking of getting a new tyre to replace one of the front ones and using the spare for the other (putting it on our alloy) and having one of the existing front ones as a spare for the time being. The cost to do this all would be around £220 max with balancing.
We could of course just swap front and rear as that would still give us a year or two out of what we have then change the whole lot then.
The other option is to buy 5 new tyres but obviously this would be more expensive even if we went for a different make, although we could flog the unused spare to offset the cost.
