Tyre question,

[waue1978]

So iguess the M&S logo means mud and snow, (winter use ) im guessing,

Damn, I could've told you that at the beginning. First job after school was in a tyre wholesaler & we used to send out loads of M&S tyres. Usually in 7.50x16 which was a really common Land Rover size.

yes there abrilliant car,
very reliable,

ive left the 306 in the garage for days and days, (went out and drove something else,) got bored with that as per-usual,
and gone back to the pug, always fires up 1st turn of the key, :very reliable, apart from the tyres but theyve had some
torture recently so, i carnt complain,

Errr - what was this ''something else''

Iwas just trying to work out what the M&s was all about,

for future reference realy, so iwill know wether to avoid M&s branded ones or not,

are the M&s tyres a softer compound/rubber compared to ordinary road use one's.?

iwill get some pictures of the tyre up and itl explain why iask,

the tyre wall is breaking up like a Re-mould wouid do, if you look at the tyre the top layer is coming off,

Not too sure on the technical aspects of the compound etc, but when I used to load them, they always seemed much more solid so potentially could be a bit more brittle. The main difference to note was really wide gaps in the treads.

Thanks,

yeah the gap in the tread is fairly wide:
most probs why they was so good in the snow, ishouid of got them off earlier and used them for next year,
ah well too late now,

Oooops, does this mean that if I don't remove my recently fitted winter tyres then they will not fare well during the summer months?

My Uniroyal Winter Tyres (with the snowflake/mountain symbol) also state M+S on them.

By March you should be removing Winter Tyres - they are very soft. I noticed straight away my car needing more steering input and the back end being a bit wayward on Winters so on a warm road it would be all over the place I guess. Mine are most likely coming off next weekend and going into storage.
