I second that, great tyreAlways rated Goodyear eagle assymetricsthese are normally my go to .
If you've been happy with the current tyre, get the same again... if you can
Happy enough, but the current ATTs are a bit hard to find without some effort and a few extra snitters.
If you don’t want to run older tyres I’d be careful with Black Circles. I’ve enquired with them before and they state that they will supply tyres with up to 2 years since DOT.
Thats interesting. Used them almost exclusively for the last decade and never had any more than a few months old, but worth keeping an eye on for sure.
Certainly 2 years if stored correctly isnt concerning- up to 5 years is the accepted retail standard, believe it or not. 6 years once in use is the limit, or 10 on a low usage vehicle stored correctly.

That maybe your ‘in use’ limit but there is no limit on a Class 4 or 5 vehicles unless it has 9 or more seats in the UK.
If that is correct (and i'm not doubting you) how would the rumoured new 5 year limit on MOTs be implemented?
Gradually is my guess
I have only gad mine on for a month or so now but I love them. They seem to be getting mire comfy again now they've been used a bit too. No complaints here.
My reasoning...
Three peaks rated.
Feedback among the local 4x4 response beard chewers is they behave very well on tarmac.
And they keep a bit of off road ability in hand for driving to the croft on South Uist.
So a fair all round compromise.
But while im tilting that way my mind isnt made up. Some months yet to think about it and listen to feedback.

I would never have bought a budget or even a midrange tyre in the past.
However, when I bought my T6 it was fitted with Nexen N-Fera something or other (SU-1 I think). I thought they were that good that when I changed from a 275 to a 245, I went for N-Fera again. The second set of wheels, I put Giti on in 245/45 R20. Partly due to cost, partly because they came as a 103 tyre and partly because I knew they made race tyres, sponsored a truck racing series and thought they must be doing something right. They're excellent in the wet (particularly stopping) but they are noisy by comparison, but it wouldn't put me off having them again.
