Hi Spikey,

Some of the links on these older threads might help:

You should get more replies on the Motoring board, so I'll move your thread over there.

H refers to the speed rating (in this case 130mph) - i.e maximum speed that they will withstand for any period of time.

195 (Tyre section in mm) x 95 (aspect ratio - height of the sidewall divided by the tyres width) x 15 (rim diameter)

Other markings are:-

R - Denotes tyres constructio type (R= radial)

82 - the load rating

There will also be another 3 digit code - e.g. 109 - this means the tyre was made in October 1999

Just seen an advert for 'Retreads'...for my car plus H speed ratings £20 fitted.... what do people think?

Depends on how much you value your safety.

Bear in mind that those tiny patches of rubber are the only things between you and a tree. Spend your money wisely and by good tyres cheap, rather than cheap tyres.

You can get some very good tyres for £40 a corner. You can get some reasonable tyres for £35.

Try BlackCircles.com and see what you can get. I've also got a code for an extra £8 off the price - I don't know if that's per tyre, or off the total, but it's worth looking at.

I can't post codes here, so PM me.

I'd rather pay £32 + £12 fitting for big name tyres, like I did on Blackcircles.

To Philhuff
My partner needs some new tyres for his Passat and he wants good quality at a good price. I will have a look at the company you suggest. You said to someone else to pm you for the discount code. Could you tell me how to do this please - I don't know what it means. Thanks

If you click on my name to the left, you can select 'send a private message'. For those that have already, I've not been home for about 40 hours now, but I'll send them when I get in - hopefully that won't be long!

I'll also post the code on the codes forum when I get home, too, so everyone else can get the discount.

What's the difference between re-treads and re-moulds?

philhuff

A remould tyre has new rubber placed around the 'chassis' of the tyre, so you get new sidewalls and tread.

A retread has just the main tread part replaced.

They're cheaper, but would you really want to put your life on a piece of rubber that's been torn apart, reassembled and then subjected to holding up a tonne of metal while rotating at 900RPM?
