And you believe any of that bullshit?

Not really, But It's there in black and white nevertheless even if it's BS or not. Plus this  "All tyres come with a no quibble money back guarantee"

And you believe that? Are they a UK company? If not, you may have trouble proving that, even though legally they are supposed to abide by UK laws.  Added to that, its ebay FFS, so even less comeback there.

I've always maintained that part worns are false economy, but do accept there are circumstances where its a sensible option, if pricey.

Anyone who buys German part-worns clearly hasn't seen how they drive over there.

Quick, the Belgians are coming

Don't mention the war.

Too late

Oh hang on a minute... which one?

[tigers_gonads]

Oh friggin hell, what have I started 

[albitz]

Don't mention the tyres. 

Fixed.

I've just bought a pair of Sailun by Rod Stewart

£102 delivered, for the rear of the wheesel. The misses drives it so it doesn't go over 40mph

Oh well, couldn't wait until I could get some enduro's in the right size ( tyres down to the wire  )  so popped into my mates garage and had a couple stuck on for a nice, once in a life time cash price of 5o quid each fitted c/w balancing and new valves.

Stuck them on the back and drove home with the traction control off to get rid of the shine 

I'll see how they behave once they have a few miles on them 

If anybody finds the enduro's in 235/45/17 size, stick it on here OR pm me please because the other 2 are very close to the limit and I don't fancy 6 points / stacking the car in a ditch

I wouldn't have thought you'd get much mileage out of Rods vinyls tbh, they must warp really badly when cornering

Okay a quick update on these tyres ...............
Off the line grip in the dry is ok.
Lateral grip in the dry is ok BUT they do let go with little no warning.

Wet grip off the line is reasonably.
Lateral grip in corners is pretty much non existent.

For what is worth, you are better off sticking a matching pair of part worns on then shelling out any sum of money for these things 
They really are THAT BAD !!

Imo ............. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

Know what you mean 
That was the first time I've been able to afford a pair of new tyres in the last 3 years or so 
As you, I've been putting up with part worns   

Must win the lottery sometime and treat myself to some proper tyres 
Can anybody lend me a couple of quid ?
