Jeez.. :shock: didn't pay anything like that for mine.... (205/70r15) IIRC around 450 euro for 6......

They have lasted well.. and good on the road.. but the vibes and noise isn't good for trips.....

Current online prices rule the Guylians out for me :mrgreen:

Could well be the INSA route. What about those Kumho's :?: that Clive had on the DOKA? I think I heard that they were quite soft so maybe not so good for playdays when in and out of lanes joined up by tarmac runs?

PS A set of 5 Colway Atacamas or Machos could be on the bus for under £300 with a set of Vito rims, seems like a no-brainer at that price?

Thanks Lee but too big for me, won't clear the sliders with my ET setup either.

I've now found out that C-tyres who were the Colway manufacturer went to the wall in 2007, so Atacama's and Macho's are no more. It's back to the INSA Turbo's by the look of it.

I'll have to get some new driving slippers eh, Jes?

I have a set of 6 BFG mud (215/75/15) which are very old but hardly used 10-12 mm treat that sort of thing.
They have been on my single cab for the last three years doing both road and offroad but were bought second hand from CJ.

They should now come off the truck now as they are showing circumferance cracks on the side wall, although the MOT man said nothing.

But they are ideal for someone who want a second set of agressive tyres just for offroad. PM me if interested.

Am I right in thinking that Insa's are made in Aspe (Spain) I might have to pop over there and look around their bins. :wink:

I've got Kuhmo KL71's (195/80 R15) on Beaker ATM - good on rock (slate) & sand and good grip on wet tarmac too. Didn't get much chance to play in the snow as van was off the road during the worst of the weather (doh!) but should be sorted soon.
