Finding a new source of off-road tyres suitable for really serious competition use is a big of a holy grail for the companies that bring such things into the country. And the Off Road Armoury seems to have struck gold, because it’s now the official UK distributor for the Big...
4x4 Tyres sounds a lot like a company that sells 4x4 tyres, and indeed it is. But where there’s a tyre there’s a wheel, and where there’s a cool truck there’s every chance there’ll be a set of even cooler alloys from one of 4x4 Tyres’ latest ranges bolted on...
Silverline Wheels and Tyres has announced that it is to start importing the Atturo line-up of 4x4 tyres from America. Made to the latest EU standards and therefore fully legal on our roads, these include the Trail Blade A/T and M/T in a range of sizes tailored to the British...
All the four-wheel drive in the world ain’t worth nothing if your tyres ain’t got no grip. That’s one reason why we all like to spend the winter falling about laughing at Chelsea tractors slithering around uselessly at the first sign of snow, but even when you’re running a set...
Newlife Tyres, the company behind the Marix range of 4x4 remoulds, has this year branched out into also stocking new tyres. The company’s main brand here is Yokohama, but it also carries a wide range of Hankook sizes – and, as if to demonstrate how flexible it is at being...
‘A true game changer.’ That’s 4x4 Tyres’ claim for the Nankang N889 Mudstar Radial M//T, which the company recently introduced in the UK after years of success at the budget end of the market in the USA and elsewhere.
Newlife Tyres Online is best known as the UK importer of the Marix range of 4x4 remoulds, but earlier this year the company also took on a wide range of new tyres from Yokohama and Hankook.
A couple of months ago, we told you about the new Italian-made Ziarelli range of remoulds being imported by Tyres Direct. This includes the uniquely savage looking Brutale and the 100-profile Extreme Forest, the latest candidate in the Simex-lookalike market, as well as the Maxi – a Creepy Crawler pattern...
As we were going to press, 4x4 Accessories and Tyres contacted us with news that it has just received a new shipment of 700 Recip MTs in various of the usual sizes. Always a popular choice among off-roaders, these Portuguese remoulds provide lots of grip for your money and have...
Italian retread manufacturer Ziarelli has made a dramatic arrival in the UK, thanks to a range of extreme tyres for the hardcore off-road market. These include the extraordinary Brutale, which combines huge shoulders with an outrageously open pattern of diamond-shaped centre blocks – and whose 25mm is about the deepest...
GT Radial's Adventuro M/T is a chunky looking customer in the all-rounder stakes, with a reputation for determined traction off-road and surprisingly quiet running on tarmac. Which is good, but for many people the deal-sealer for the Chinese-made mud-terrain is its price.
If you're mourning the loss of the old-style BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain, the new Nortenha MT may be the answer. A Portuguese-made remould with a similar pattern to the iconic BFG, this has just arrived in the UK courtesy of Tyres Direct Online.
‘The best tyre rescue kit ever invented!’ Yow. That’s the dramatically lofty claim made by TBR for the DV4Car tyre chain, which promises to work in mud, sand and snow.
