Hi

Pretty much as the title sugests what tyre will fit 10x6 wheels, just got my hands on some Wellers and looking to rubber them up. Any suggested suppliers an/or fitters around York would also be appreciated.

Cheers

Neil

Cheers

The Yoko's are brillaint!

but the falkens are pretty good im running them and they grip fine in all weathers

[rick.spi]

yokos... without the slightest of doubts.

[RayBoogs]

Yup i would take yokos over the falkens! well i just have, got some A008's on the way now!

[olds_kool_lews]

i went for the falkens, they look pretty nice, n the grip aint half bad for budget end of the market tyres, cant complain at the price either! heres a pic of mine fitted...



i like yokos too, but i prefer the falkens, if they did yokos with a smiliar tread to falken, id go for them!

[Stevee]

Falkens arent budget tyres they say they are but there more lower mid range


but are a nice tyre

Cheers everyone. Is it possible/easy to remove and fit tyres yourself or is it something better left to the pro's?

i had mine done at the local tyre place, they got the tyres on without any damage to the fresh powdercoating, balanced the wheels, all within 15mins, for £30, id rather pay someone £30 to put the tyres on right, and balance them, without damage, its a price im willing to pay!


doing it yourself, your looking at a couple of hours, lots of swearing, n hammers, or a angle grinder if you got one..... all abit of a pain in the ar5e! and then you still gotta get em balanced!

[rick.spi]

all fair points. i wouldnt attempt to do them myself and always use someone else... i do however make sure the people doing it know what they are doing and arnt going to damage anything. dont trust evryone. i always use my local ford garage, and used to use a ford garage near my work and both seemed very compatent so i will happily be using them again.
