 Posted: Thu Aug 31, 2006 8:19 Post subject: Tyre Size - been there done that! |
 |
|
I know it is an age old question but here goes:
My Deli is currently running on Marshal Venture 30/9.50R15 this obviously restricts tyres available to me if I follow this size..........
So what is a more coventional tyre size that compares to the 30/9.50 R15 ...the only reason I ask is that obviously I know this tyre fits!
Cheers
Scott 
PS. If possible I would like to order these today in time for NFM so no rush!!!

The equivelent of 30.9.50r15 is 235/75x15 i brought a brand new set of colways which are remoulds beginning of the year and I've got to say I'm impressed with them,esp at £30 a tyre!!! the wear is equal on all of them and the tread pattern is the same as the bridgestone 693 that i had before,and i will say they have worn better than the bridgestone,i do a lot of miles and they have barely worn at all,worth looking at imho,got mine from http://www.sowdentyres.co.uk/colway-tyres.html / http://www.sowdentyres.co.uk/cheap-4x4-tyres.html#at and as i said I'm impressed with them,i know theres a few others thatr have used them on here,

Love it! I've got Tinnitus, so it neutralises the noises out. But a passenger commented that it sounds like a strong wind was blowing past the motor. Probably puts the wind up pedestrians though?

 They only delivered 3 of the 4 ordered tyres.......................guy very apologetic but said it was couriers fault. However, I don't care - not my problem. You trust your business to a courier you trust your name and reputation to them also as far as I'm concerned!!
I'm sure I was just unlucky...so use them if you want but trust me there is nothing more annoying than receiving an incomplete set! I'd rather not have received any of them................

:D Ridiculous isn't it....is there actually a three wheeler that would use that size tyre. Do the idiots who pick these loads not think that perhaps four (when it says 4) on the sheet might actually mean 4!!

Tyre no.4 turned up at work! To be fair to the tyre company they have kept good comms and are constantly apologetic. You can be minded that they are conscientous and courteous which are rare commodities these days. All is now happy with Bada Bing!
