Heres a pic of the gap

 

 

[ATTACH]111937[/ATTACH]

 

Hi James

heres a picture of mine with a full load of chip on, the reason we opted for a spacer is if you get a stone/piece of wood etc between the wee gap of the sidewalls,it could well puncture or damage the tyres by rubbing, so the extra 10mm spacer gives it a tad more room because as you can see the gap is very minimal when loaded.

Hope this helps bud :biggrin:

Hello mate, how much time are you on the road on those tyres? Where did you get them and the spacers? Remember what you paid? Cheers

hi pal,

-im on road probs 70% of the time,they're abit noisey but small price im willing to pay for not getting stuck!

-10mm spacers,got them cut by a mate who runs a laser cutter, he has the pattern saved and can cut them again in the future for a small nominal fee.

-i paid £55-£60 per tyre fitted, have the blokes number if it helps?

Are you local to Manchester/Cheshire?

My vans on the road 90% of the time I use it everyday so would probably get un even wear as well as noise? Tyre price is good I'm wanting to pay around £240 mark. If you could get a price on those spacers? I'm in Sussex bud.

With regards to those knobbly remoulds on a transit, it didnt think you could get it through the mot as they are not proper van tyres. A friend of mine tried it with his cabstar and it failed so he had to swap them back to belted van tyres.

Also you get what you pay for with tyres, i had a cheap set once until the tread peeled off! get some decent ones and get double the mileage at least.

When im paying peanuts for the tyres and getting 18months+ out of a set, why spend £££ on road tyres to get stuck on a poo in the local rec ground?

read previous replies on thread re. mot :biggrin:
