Technical new tyres

[pfgannon]

Have a 2007 1.3 multijet and just wondering about new tyres.Have Bridgestone Duravis on at the moment and they look fine thread wise until you check the inner wall and there terrible,splits everywhere.Would rather go for something differnt.They are 165/85/15 92t.Living in Ireland so anyone purchase tyres on the island?Thanks.

I put pirelli p3000's on my dobbie.

The pirelli seem to be a popular choice but the local tyre centres dont seem to stock them.Must look into it more today.The test is overdue on van so have to sort out a few bits and pieces.

No they don't usually stock them I had to order my pirelli's

Just bought 4 new Goodyears with bonus Tesco points from the above link

Under £240 inc fitting.

Well worth it.

I recently got 4 hankooks for £140 all in but I had to go up a size as the original doblo ones are more expensive for some reason?

Are you sre you have that tyre size correct, it doesn't look quite right.

I see - The thread starter pfgannon shows 165 x 85 for his Doblo?

Yes - 185/65 R15 T 92 is the correct size.

A typo on there part methinks.

Just past test after failing a few items including a faulty shock so replaced both,put on new bump stops while i was at it and had to adjust the load valve on rear.Went with semperit comfort life tyres in the end.Skint as a result but at least its good for another year.
