All good info and advice so far, for which many thanks. It=E2=80=99s =
worth considering that:-
I=E2=80=99m not at all concerned with the appearance of the tyres as I, =
for one, have never studied that topic sufficiently to be able to =
differentiate.
I don=E2=80=99t need to pay for a tyre that=E2=80=99s capable of doing =
things that I won=E2=80=99t require. A set of Michelin XAS will almost =
certainly last longer than I will. They are very pricey and I expect =
that one gets what one=E2=80=99s paid for. But they seem a little OTT =
for my requirements.
Still thinking about the T-tracs,
Simon

more modern on the T-Tracs.

So=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6I=E2=80=99m looking at the Vredstein T-trac =
