Got my tyres from here as I can arrange cheaper fitting and balance locally. Good selection too.

The DOT code of the actual tyres I've bought has not been given but in their FAQs they ensure their tyres are no older than 24 months, in line with regulation.

Ones I'm replacing are 185/70/14 so I'm down the middle! Van is dropped 80mm so it's all a bit snug in there anyway. I just rely on the iPhone for a speedo!

So, my tyres came today. Arrived a day late due to customs, because the tyres came from Germany. No bother, still very quick and keeps us on track for a weekend camp.

I couldn't find any DOT code, only these

£10 for fitting and disposal of my old tyres. Happy days.
