Not sure where to put this, hope this is okay. Just info about an incident.

On my way north last Thursday I had a blowout front drivers side. It was sudden. Speed about 55/60, Noise, slightly heavy steering. Sussed tyre gone, slowly braked and was lucky enough to be able to pull in on a lay-by.
Got out checked the ripped up tyre, then reversed back slowly to get further into lay-by. got spare on and then went on my way.

(Tyres were decent 2/3 mil left. Jap Goodyear ATs. Spare didn't seem to have been used.)

I was pleased that the Deli behaved well, no wandering at all, a steady course and I could pull into the side okay.

When I got up to my destination, Cramlinton, I got in touch with Steve SG as he had offered me tyres before. ( At the Chatsworth Meet) Steve got me a set, (I replaced all 4) and then took me to a garage to get them fitted - thanks Steve.

They were on standard alloys, tyre size 235 75 R15s, Runway Enduro AT, made in China. Cost £175 plus £44 for fitting. Nice and chunky but low road noise. I'm pleased with them, but unsure how long they'll last - time as they say will tell. Max weight for each tyre is 900Kg. Max pressure is 151 psi. Dot standard etc etc.

I changed the lot because I like the same tyres at each corner and at this price it didn't hurt too much. I hope the wear will be equal all around so that when needed I will do it again. If they last anything like I,d be pleased to put the same on again.
