Thread: Tyre Advice NOT for a 4x4

Sounds like almost anything round and made of rubber would do the job.

Being a courier and doing a fair bit of mileage I shouldn't have, but just couldn't afford better. I've just put four new Maxtrek on my ute. They were less than half the original replacement. They handle ok, are showing zero wear after 25k, but they are hopeless in the wet. I tend to drive very conservatively but in the wet they are downright silly.
I assume this might be the case for most "cheaper" tyres.

Certainly weren't Steel Cats.

i had a friend you had them fitted to a car she owned once, there was a bulge on one side wall, like a double layer of rubber on one tyre , she took it back immediately and the refused to replace it.

Would you buy a Roadshine, Deestone or even a Bluestreak? (Last one should really be called a Brownstreak).

I would if others had used them and said they were ok.

This is the whole point of this thread, to gauge opinion of others, generally through their experience or the experience of friends.

I'm just countering the statement of any tyre (anything so long as its round and black). I'd prefer someone to have a tyre named above to a bald tyre, but personally I wouldn't touch them as tyres are one of the most important things on a car.
