Sounds good to me I’m looking for a decent tyre but I’m not willing to spend a fortune on tyres I’ll take a look at them . Thanks again your help and advice has been brilliant
I've just fitted Uniroyal rainsport 5 in 255/45/19 104 rated for the t32. £520 from national tyres with 10% discount then £20 worth of top cashback so £500 all in fitted.

So far very happy with them as recommended by others on the forum.
 
Silver for me. I also like the OEM look/fitment but will get a 15mm spacer for the rear this time.

Just taken delivery of a set for my van.

The 255/55 tyres are huge and won’t fit even temporarily. The ones on my set of wheels are new - well they still have the lines on the tread so should be able to sell them on to recoup some money.

I had a set of these wheels last year (yes I am an idiot for selling them) and tried Blacklion BU66 102 tyres in the 245/45 size.

They‘re a dearer budget tyre and I was really happy with them in the wet/dry and they wore well - so I’m getting them fitted again today to this latest set :thumbsup: Next choice would be Avon ZX7s
 
i will have a look at all the above and see what works best.
So are your wheels new as well ? If do do you Mind me asking how much you got them for
I keep thinking maybe I should hold out for a newer set in silver as after I get these sprayed they wold stand me £900 so would be good to see how much a used but new set costs. Cheers

hi @Dave F, let me know if you decide to hold out for a silver set, i'll gladly give you your £660 back for these if you you do...
 
As a reference @Dave F these are on ebay for £1150 or best offer. They need a lot of refurb work aswell as a respray or powdercoat. Seller states the tyres are free and this price is for wheels only, I read that as "these tyres are no good and I don't want to deal with them"
£900 + tyres for a freshly painted set of canteras is not a bad deal at all in my book.

They are new take offs but have been in someones garage for just over a year.

These wheels are like 16” Claytons are to us - they come with the truck on a Highline and many Amarok owners like to upgrade to 20 or 22” wheels just like we like to fit bigger wheels.

Anywhere between £600-800 for a new/mint set seems about right. There are some on fleabay for over a grand and that’s just ridiculous IMHO.

By the time I have sold the 4x 255/55 new tyres and bought centre caps the wheels will have cost me £700 - you could say I got impatient rather than got an outright bargain. They were listed on eBay but were misspelt ‘amorok‘ rather than ‘Amarok‘ and the description/pics were rubbish.

The previous set I got for £550 (also on eBay but about 18months ago) and they were also new wheels but had no tyres or centre caps.


Just got back from having my 245/45 tyres fitted. Lowering next :cool:

Spot on thank you all.
These are also local to me so I can pick them up so no delivery or collection cost. The question had just been sitting in the back of my mind and holding me back from pushing the button.
