They do make remoulds these days , in fact one of the biggest makers of these has not long been bought out by Continental !
Just google BANDVULC , I worked there for years and made more than a few tyres for them .
They do all the contracts for all the supermarkets and hauliers, they have also started van tyres too , so I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the high end tyres are made by them under license

Sorry mate...my bad....I thought they were illegal in the UK now.....apparently not....a lot of lorries and buses have them....they have tightened the safety regulations for remoulds though....

Salesmen must rub  their hands together when  they see you coming NWH , and there I was thinking they broke the mould after they made Daz

Yeah that’s what 1 of the 🔔🔚 fitters thought that’s why I said what’s it got to do with you what tyres  I buy you’ll just be fitting em,not my problem just because I bought 4 tyres and it cost more than his car I mean come on lol

I had spot of luck about 4 weeks ago.   I went out at about 7am to start the day only to see that I had a left rear flat,  picked up a screw on the way home the night before.   Both rears only had a few months life left in them so wasn't too annoyed.   I called up all the local tyre places and only 1 had the size I needed in stock.  Pirelli's at about £180ish plus fitting etc.  More than i'd normally pay as I generally go mid range.   Rather then order in and loose another  day I thought just stick the Pirelli's on and crack on with work.  Doesn't happen all that often and don't let it ruin the week. 

Anyway long story short,  they only went a replaced the fronts too!  Mine were only 6-7months old on the front and now I have a matching set.  I pointed it out as soon as I realised which was after I had paid for the rears.  I said you're going to want to change them back to mine aren't you and they said it would take too long (had others waiting) and would have to swap valves, rebalance and it was their mistake.  You drive off and pretend you didn't notice.  Didn't need to tell me twice!!!  Free front tyres!

Got to say though I'm almost  converted.  You can tell the difference in the tyre quality but for the amount of weight we carry it doesn't matter how much they cost, they're still getting chewed up by cornering and wear unevenly as a result.

£180 for a van tyre, thats insane 

I
I would have put some air in it and seen the day out with a slow puncture.

I had a tyre that needed air in every 3 to 4 days, i did that for months until it was completely worn out before i replaced it.

Adam  he means it cost him £180 for 2 tyres fitted not one!and ended up getting 4!why they would do that is beyond me........seems too good to be true TBH!

no £180 per tyre!!! I have a VW T6 and i put on some aftermarket load rated 20" alloys, essentially I got too carried away.  so the tyres that I need are load rated 4X4 tyres which aren't cheap.  thats the price I pay for vanity 😂

100% true too. I have  4 shinny new Pirelli's and an invoice for 2!

I have tried a vast range from 60 quid a pop to 150 the ones in the upper middle are no better than the cheaper ones if anything they are worse because more often than not the compound is softer,the last set I had all round was Goodyear’s they were no better then the Toyos I had previously I was advised by a guy I’ve used for years to go for the Michelin’s but always thought they wouldn’t be much difference and they wouldn’t be worth the extra money,I was completely wrong these X Climates are superb.

My moneys always been on you having solid tyres on whatever you peddle around.

Buying the same make of tyre is a nice idea - if they're still available.
I'm sure that should say, " Buy the same type of tyre".
