Probably one for the tyre section..
Time has arrived to change probably best M/T tyre I've used, Mickey Thompson MTZs.
Turns out no go - we can no longer supply these in the UK due to EU laws. WTF?
So far looking for 315/75/16 M/T alternatives I can only see Cooper STT pro in the UK that seem to be K speed rated in my size. Don't drive the 80 like its stolen but would like motorway speeds without worrying the tyres are breaking up under my arse.
To add insult, I have an unused MTZ on the spare rim.
Only option I can see is import from the US. Huge £££.
Sent off few emails to main tyre suppliers in UK for options. Hopefully the EU hasn't outlawed all M/T tyres by now.
Pack of *****. Rant over.
