Up until 8 months ago I always used Dunlops or Michelins for the Taxi's I have owned.

However there was a shortage of 'purpose builts' back in the spring which resulted in me fitting two Hudson L.T's to the rear wheels.

They came in at £32 each, fitted and nearly 25'000 miles later they look no different, and no punctures to date.

Needless to say there are two going on the front tomorrow.

Recomended.



Another 8 months later . . . . still looking good. \:D/

How many miles did you get out of the 2 Hudsons that you had fitted on August 18th?

The more senior pair, about 40K

The Junior pair, did'nt count, but they started wearing a bit quicker than the last set I bought :?

I always use remolds. Why? because on my Metro and I expect the TXs the fronts always wear on one side of the tyre. Because of the U turns. So it pays to keep changing them around on the cab.
I had a blowout on the M4 when I first got this Metro. It was on the rear and the tyre was not a remold.
Last week I was feeling this bumping I put it down to a tyre. On inspection I found a 'Bubble' on the rear nearside. I went and got another remold to replace it. Inside of the tyre was an air bubble about a foot long. WOW, That was close. Remolds or not you can still get problems.

Regarding - Hudson remoulds.

I had 4 Hudson remoulds fitted for £140 all in. I got home & measured tyre tread depth, there was 13.5mm of tread depth. I have covered just 2,000 miles & the tread depth is down to 8mm.

It look like I am in for about 6k mileage with this set of Hudson remoulds. I got 12.5k out of a set of Austone tyres. My last set of Michelin tyres cost £220 & last for 27k miles.

I know what I will be doing in the future.

You don't get rich by spending money.

I've made myself a lifetime promise not to. :wink:
