JB, good advice there from Clive. So even if you have the rims doing
nothing and put a set of MT's on, you still have the risk of them
deteriorating prematurely whilst they sit in the shed between each
outing to the local bog. But there again, that is a cost you will
have to put on your hobby of playdays with your mates. Deterioration
of tyres is something we have to acknowledge, and don't look now, but
the EU are intending to bring in laws that force us to renew them by
a new 'use by' date that will appear on the sidewall moulding. (I
think it may already be there for some EU markets).
You are lucky in having a spare set of rims as they are expensive to
buy for the 80. So why not buy a set of cheap knobbly MT remoulds
from Colway;and as Julian suggests, just bolt them on for the
off-road events only. But I still seem to get everywhere on my Dunlop
AT's. Though last week I had to fit a Turkish Lassa 'Competus' AT in
a hurry when a machine screw found its way into a rear tyre and
parted the steel cords. But there again, judging by the cracks on the
edge of the tread I think my Dunlops are near their demise. It gave
me a chance to rotate them around the axles whilst I was at it.
Cheers
