thats a bloody good idea cheersWhats your budget?
You can pay what you want from a budget tyre to brand make.
As a rule same goes for everything in life you only get what you pay for!
I use brigsestones r 410 reinforced LCV tyre been very happy.
Whatever you do though , get a quote from a internet tyre site, (theres loads) print off your qoute and then take it to a local kwick fit for ease.
Got my 410's for £ 46 each kwickfit wanted £72 , showed him the online qoute he said i'll match it minus another £2 so got them done next day.
Did this as local kwickfit 500 yrds away.
anyone know a good allround tyre for the doblo , its my first car and i dont want to get stung
On my pickup I used to use remould 8ply, rated to 100mph.
I often carried over a ton, loads of miles on motorways & around town & never had a problem.
I know many who say you should never use remoulds but I have never had a problem with them, even at speed.
AFAIK, most tyres are all round
(been a long day, just couldn't help myself)
(Unless they go flat!)
Geeesh!...lol
Tiggs:bang:
i used to be a tyre / exhaust fitter many moons ago .. vickings were the best tyres on the go then .yes but have you noticed, they only go flat at the bottom, the rest is fine :idea:
Buy the best ( by everest) Sorry got the better of me!
Wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.
Had them in this house when I moved in, couple of months later we had a hot summer, went to open the windows & handles started snapping off. We knew the windows were only 5 years old so I contacted everest to see about some new handles - £35 each. I told them the windows were only 5 years old & so were still under their 10 year warranty - NO. As we didn't buy the windows, we didn't have a warranty, it left with the previous owners.
I got oTrading standards involved but they werte neither use nor ornament.
In the end I installed new UPVC myself.
When I took out the old everest I noticed they didn't have the advertised hardwood surround and thewindows were only held into the frame with a few tiny screws so relying on the pins in the quadrant. I took pictures & a sample of the 'hardwood' surround down to TS but still they didn't want to know.
We still get advertising blurb from them offering huge discounts as a "valued customer", I keep writing back telling them my experience of their crappy product - I get no reply.
I've even reported them to Advertising Standards for making false claims in their advert "fit the best" ...hardly.
just took the spare from out of under the doblo and the size of the tyre is a 195/65/r15 where as the tyres on the doblo are 185/65/r16 am i still ok to use this tyre as a spare or will i have to get it replaced ???Sounds about as good as a Fiat 'unlimited mileage warranty'.

i know sounds a bit wrong that but i checked a website and some say the 195s and some say 185s since i have just passed driving test and it was 15yrs plus since my stint as a fitter im unsure if you can mix the tyres ???:hm:
