I have a set of four as new Goodride tyres (165 70 R14), from a BX I had last year. They have covered no more than 80 miles. The car died of massive engine failure on it's way to its MOT early last year.
The tyres are in my garage in Colchester, Essex. Need the space asap, so £60 for the set.
I'll include the original wheel trims if you want them.

I have thought about this because I appreciate the intentions of this post are good...

BUT

Sorry to p*ss on your parade, but those tyres are TERRIBLE.

I wouldn't want any of our esteemed bunch driving around on these!

As a review comments: "Your life is not worth risking with these UNSAFE cheap tyres. These are made in China by Hangzhou Zhongce, which is the same company that was subject to the US recall of 450,000 tyres. They cut corners to save money and have NO SAFETY FEATURES that could save your life when the tyre fails. DO NOT BUY!"

Just thought I'd better mention.

I bought a BX with Goodrides (ironic of course) back in 2004, and as soon as I could I replaced them with cheap Firestones (in itself a mistake). Which suggests how awful they were. Sorry

Yes - well said. I didn't even register the name when I read the Ad. - I just saw nearly new tyres, £60

Are these tyres legally for sale in the UK? If so, what on Earth is the point of having 'standards' authorities if they pass as fit for purpose such basically flawed products?

Be interested in the wheeltrims though Gio if there genuine Bx ones?
