Cheap Tyres was created by ooky_123

Well its well documented that I like cheap things .... dont get me wrong, If I can justify spending top penny for a quality item I will, but if its a bargin or a sale item ... oooo Just cannot resist.
My Tyres, Broncho Diamond Backs are not the highest quality re-treads Ive ever seen, certainly a lot lower in the quality stakes than the old Collways and other rubber Ive put on a vehicle... Now I have seen and experienced first hand cheapness ... whilst off roading today, I managed to tear off 3x treadblocks from the outside edge of one of the front tyres. I wonder if I had been using a better quality tyre if the same would have happened ?

I had bronco diamond backs on my SJ and they performed ok, however it had half the engine power of the Jimny so probably could not stress the tyres in the same way. We see the SJ fairly regularly and it still has the same tyres on it so they are lasting ok
