I am about to buy 4 new tyres for my 1979 4/4 they will go on a 5.5j x 15 minilites, currently I have 165 x 15 Firestone f560, can anyone recommend a make/supplier I should consider, I am not looking at hard wearing as I do minimal mileage per year.
Thanks Mark

I also have the T Trac 2 in this size, let's just say they are the best of a bad lot of tyres available in this size!
Camskill & Demon Tweeks also stock these, for price comparison purposes.

I paid £224.74 inc VAT & delivery for four Vredestein T-Trac 2’s
Couldn’t complain with those prices

I just paid that each for four Michelin Cross Climate tyres for the T-Roc, plus fitting at 26€ a corner!

Another vote for T-Track 2.
In several posts this tires are highly recommended.

It was around 2016 when I bought my first set of T-Track 2 tyres and since that time some other 4/4 drivers are as satisfied as I am. I am now on my second set. In difference to the old thread below the other brands now also show a „B“ for the performance in the wet but I still believe that the T-Track 2 is even today one of the best choices. . http://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/335704/2

Thanks for all the replies, the ‘blackcircles’ price has increased by over £100, so if anyone can suggest another supplier that would be great
