Tyres Wanted

Aug 06, 2004 5 Replies

Paddocks are doing Colways for £38, or £30 for the 205/16 I have just bought. They are doing Kingpins even cheaper I think.

Then again, they promised delivery today (and charged me £25 for the privilege). Nothing has arrived, so Paddock have once again let me down (2 of my last 4 orders have failed to show).

Anyone got any Slightly UsedTyres for sale.



Using colway MT 205/16 at the moment But wanted some 235/85 or some 750/16 With good Offroad tread.



They are so dam expensive new it blows me away. Thus, searching for used ones. Thanx

just a minor point, make sure before you slag 'em that it's not the couriers being lazy sods. very rare that couriers get to this place as fast as advertised. sometimes, but not that often, and very unusual on a friday or saturday. Granted, we're a long way from some of 'em, but that's no excuse. Which doesn't either mean it's NOT Paddock, just that I've a dim view of couriers...

Well, if you will live in the outer reaches of the English Empire what do you expect?:)

Yebbut, (and as I know only too well) the failure of the appointed courier is the fault of the company that employ them. Even when they (repeatedly) read the 'ship from' label as 'destination' and deliver your own parcel back to you, dutifully before 10am and in very good condition! But that's another story...

I debated driving to Paddock to pick them up, as they are needed in a hurry (well, this morning really). But I was assured they were in stock (checked twice) and agreed to pay more for next day delivery.

At £25 they are not a cheap carrier, and they've only got to come about 40 miles or so.
