Unimog tyres?

[TIMON]

Can anyone tell me the best place to get new tyres for our mog ?

Any advice on what kind are the best and any to avoid..

Thanks

Buy the best you can afford, Michelin lasted me 5 years on my 2150, it was doing 500 road miles a week.

McConnechys got me the best price years ago.

Make sure you get tyres with the correct speed rating, some fit cheaper ag tyres that are only rated to 40 or 50KMPH

If possible go for Michelins . They are not so good off road as continentals but last longer on the road , also continental are experiencing problems with their agg tyres cracking on the outside edge of the cleats . We have already returned 4 out of 4 tyres to be repaired my continental and still they have cracked again . Continentals also wear about twice as fast as Michelins .

As sky huck said make sure you get the correct speed rating. i personaly dont like mitchlen xm47 any more they had a change of compound about 3 years ago and started blowing to peices and only have a life of three years . The use to be the best you could get .

We now use mitus mpt21 good on road ok off not like a real agg tyre but they cope

mitcheldever are fairly good in winchester

I think AV charge about a grand each for michelins can't afford the initial outlay for those..... Sadly, 'cos I know they will work out cheapest in the long run. Guess I'll have to go mid range. Thanks for your help guys, I'll admit I have been tempted by cheap AG ones with 30mph rating but I know better than that.. Cutting corners never prospers in the long run ....

If you are doing more than 30 mph often, then I wouldn't put underated tyres on. I pay £495.00 for continentals. I do a stack of miles at 50+ and are fully loaded all the time. I also run Michelin's and don't notice any appreciable difference between the two.
