OK, not heard of dynobeads..

I was looking at 16x10 modulars, but the shop only has copper stt Pro in stock for them...

Not sure they're any good in the wet/cold/snow are they? Regards

The Coopers are excellent tyres, grip extremely well in all conditions - I prefer them to BFG. Also I can highly recommend the Dynabeads - they do work - plus the tyre is rebalanced every time you drive it

If you wish, you may want to AVOID tyresdirectuk, (for fitting anyway) they have a work shop in my town, and trade online aswell... BIG WARNING & RANT TO ALL.
So.. You may have noticed I have been posting about tyre choices/dating tyres etc.. Well today I had my tyres changed.. I used a garage in the same town as me that was recommended by my garage. I went with the BFG A/T K02 in the end.
But my goodness the staff were a joke..
One guy scraped up one of my rims on the tyre removal machine, after informing the manager, stating I didn't want to get anyone on trouble or complain, (but wanted it, noted incase of any issues of pressure loss in the future) the staff member gave me attitude, another guy who destroyed my locking wheel nut key and a couple of locking wheel nuts with the impact gun (he did apologise which was good) (he was the nicest) at which point I had to drive to my mechanic half hour away to get the locking wheel nuts off and then drive back to have the last wheel changed.
And the third staff member had a bad attitude with me on my return (clearly the boss had been and had a word with them about the scrape while I was gone) because when I got back he made all the excuses under the sun about marks on the wheels..
I'm supposed to be going back tomorrow to get the spare done, but I shan't be going now... And I'm going to send an email to the boss... (who I did make aware of the scrape..) there was no apology from the boss, no offer of replacement for the kit they destroyed just excuses. Its not good enough when your spending nearly £700.
So be warned. Regards

With that garage I didn't even ask about the dynobeads... I couldn't wait to leave... But its something I'll look into in the summer probably...
Thanks anyways.. Regards
