Hi again , i cannot seem to find the " new thread " button ,so i will put this here ,
OLD TYRES , HOW MUCH MONEY DID I SAVE , ?

SEE BELOW ,, !!!!!






also smashed some of the fibreglass wheel arch ,
not to mention how the Sunliner pulled the full size American car all over the road when the van went up on to one wheel at only 80 klm per hour ,
cheers Kel.

30th week 1989 unless I misread the tyre markings, so only 24 years old. Guess that makes it a 'classic' tyre, not vintage.

Ouch
That's a timely reminder to all caravaners that any tyre no matter what condition the tread, should be replaced after a maximum of six years.

Not worth taking the risk, with life and caravan.

On a nicer note.
Great photos, glad to see a few Olympics gathered together and of course the rare 16' Sunliners.

Cheers
