Anyone got any up to date recommendations ref. tyres for a 3500 as I haven't changed mine for about 18 years and I think the time has come. Do the usual tyre-fitting places still stock the right size? Thanks all.

Oh, and don't forget you'll invalidate your insurance if the speed rating isn't up to snuff....any excuse from the sharks!

The significance of this is not in the actual speed at which you are going to drive - it is in the construction standard of the tyre carcass. In particular how round it is (!), how easy to balance etc. I run 150mph rated tyres on Lucky, not because I intend to drive at that speed, but because that quality of construction gives you an overall much better performing tyre.

Aren't they the correct tyres?
