I'm looking for a pair of cheap but legal tyres as a stop-gap for my Sankey trailer as the ones that came with it are very cracked. Eventually, it will get wheels and tyres to match my 110 but I'm not ready to lay out on those just yet. Either 235/85 or 7.50 would do. On ordinary steel wheels would be great too, but not essential. Oh, and reasonably close to Bracknell, Berkshire would be ideal
Anybody got anything suitable cluttering up their garage/workshop/patio? Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!" - Princess Leia |

I am driving across to by Salisbury on Saturday and you could have had a couple of mine for a donation to Help for Heroes but it's still a fair distance from you even then, sorry.

Thanks for the offer but it is a bit far. Darren

@LRA
I have three GG TR 235/85/16's at home gathering dust (tyres only, no rims). Two were take offs from mine and the other was acquired following some swapping around with another forum member a while back. From memory 5-6 mm tread across all three and all in reasonable condition. Can get them to outskirts of Oxford (near Kassam footy stadium, so fairly handy for A4074) during office hours next week. You are welcome to some or all of them for a small donation to a local charity we support  Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless. |

Thanks for all of the offers, chaps. Very kind. Unfortunately though, it's just occurred to me that the existing wheels are only 5.5 inch wide so no good for 235 tyres
 So, it's really only 7.50x16's that are going to be a straight swap, which I guess will be less common these days.
It's the Newbury Sort Out weekend after next, so I'll keep a look out there. Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!" - Princess Leia |

You can fit 235s to 5.5" (SWB I presume) rims. The manufacturer wouldn't recommend it, but plenty of people do.

Hmm, I'm not keen, to be honest. I'll see what else crops up over the next week or two. Darren

All sorted now. Picked up a couple of 7.50's on wheels for a good price from eBay, which will save messing about getting tyres fitted.
Thanks for all of the offers though  Darren
