Off Road tyres in essex was created by rexthecat
Hi all, I might go and buy my first Jimny on Sat, I was thinking to put some AT or MT tyres on it, can anyone reconmend anywhere in Essex that stock / fit? I'm just being overenthusiastic, I know I could get them on the internet but being pushed for time if it were poss I'd like to get the wheels on and go off roading with it next weekend.

Also I was thinking kingpin remoulds or similar, I've seen some MT that say they have decent road capability, Im going to use it mostly on road, should I be sensible and put AT tyres on, and if so any reconmendations for ATs that are good off road?

Cheers

Have a look at camskill.com. Fairly decent choice, well priced, quick delivery, I was very pleased with them. Then just get a quote from your local tyre fitters, should be around the £30-40 mark to fit and balance 4 tyres.

All the tyre fitters I've asked about off road tyres have to order in and put an extorianate mark up.

I will recommend Maldon Supertyres, they have helped me out with motorbike tyres in the past, might be worth giving them a call. It was a while ago I used them though.

i would order online, some places do next day delivery and most tyre fitting places will fit them for a fee.

Give my mate KK Mobile - a mobile tyre fitter - a call on 07813018333 and tell him Rob Kirk sent you - depending on where you are in Essex he can supply and fit them for you or just supply if you want, or just fit them if you get them.online.

He is in the Wickford area, so if you're on the other side of Essex he may not be your man - your profile doesn't tell me.

I used Tyres Direct but phoned them to make sure they have them in stock so I knew they would come quickly.

Cheers
