Try Longstone tyres or Blockleys. Great to see you back.👍 Absolutely agreed mate original is best. I looked at longstone but at over £1000 for tye five im.wanting (2100 to be exact) just cant justify that for tye car guven it wikk probably do about 250-300 miles a year if that. Great to be back, hoping you are well mate. Edited September 14, 2019 by Russell Macfarlane Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite agree mate my tyre wear in the past (on my classics anyway) stems from age and lack of use rather than miles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beeper 60 Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) Might I suggest Tyersonthedrive.com ? I have used them in the past.(not for my Cortina though) Go to the site, choose your tyres, arrange a date/time for fitting and a guy turns up at your house/workplace with a fully kitted out van, fits your tyres, takes a few before and after pics. Pay for the job and away he goes. https://www.tyresonthedrive.com/?sv_tax1=Google&sv_tax2=Brand&sv_tax3=Brand&sv_tax4=tyresonthedrive com-e&sv_campaign_id=1748016413&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIutTvxfvP5AIVg7HtCh04gwVjEAAYASAAEgIOuPD_BwE This will probably not come up with a match for 165/80/13 tyres so click "my tyre size isn't listed". Re-enter your tyre size and the tyre options should come up. Edited September 14, 2019 by Beeper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
