Spend over £100 a time , rears on a front wheel drive van last 50-60k fronts 30-40k
I find anything else false economy. Put employees on partworns and you are asking for trouble when they investigate accidents.
think you need to get better insurance having had 10 vans wrote of in the last 7 years ive yet to come across this trouble with part worn tyres
Susan, are you on a wind up on here or something?? Written off 10 vans in 7 years!?!? why would you even admit to that like its a cool thing? IF its true that is....
Anyway back to talking sense. So if you buy a second hand van, are you not also buying 4 part worn tyres? You have no idea what type of life the tyres have had or if they are also bought from the scrappies.
I don't understand what the problem with a second hand tyre is. As long as they are not worn, have tread, the sides are not knackered, then I don't see the problem your not buying them blind.
I just try and give a real view most carpet cleaners on here have had very little to do with vans , ive forgot more about vans then most will even know , running my husbands transport company and having 29 vans out everyday doing work for dhl , tnt , city link
my vans have use more fuel ticking over then yours as done driving so until you have walked in my shoes best you keep it shut as I was paying 5k a month to insure the fleet which will be more then you take a mounth 8-)
as for the life of a tyre you don't know what lifes a new one as had either they sit for years in big stock plies and get shipped all over in wet and damp containers also they repair them in the factory when comeing down the line befoure going on to brand new cars and vans
I couldn't belive the storys I have been told buy a guy I know he was end off line chief at Nissan just makes me smile when I see people so happy pick there cars up as I know some nobber as been driving it round the track on the limiter when loading it
