Tyre manufacturers undoubtedly apply "value engineering - the process of reducing the cost of producing a product without reducing its quality or how effective it is" - i.e. made as cheap as possible to last their projected lifetime.

Next Saturday haul: Michelin XY 9.00-16 tyres with road tread. Ex-French reserve, they fitted them to their Dodge WC 6x6 reserve fleet. Most of the driving I do is on the road anyway and these are somewhat larger in diameter than bar treads.

Ford fans may note the large floor mat with logo drying out on the push bar. I got it with the rims last week. It was very dirty but half an hour with the pressure washer made it presentable again.
