I was doing 70 (ish) mph in the outside lane of the M6 a couple of weeks ag.

There was a bit of vibration!

Then BOOOM!

There was a bit more vibration   



Never liked remolds, you see them all over the motorway

[jonnycool]

Effing hell..

[jonnycool]

Consider me converted..

[Bent valve]

Have you tried taking it to Kwik fit ? they might be able to repair it

[Del Boy]

Bloody hell 

[dbug]

Thats had it mate 

[Tonka.]

Did you soil yourself 

Seriously, glad you are okay. 

[r1]

did not even no you could still buy remolds

[Lizzie_Zoom]

did not even no you could still buy remolds

Nor did I, and I stopped using them 38 years ago

[nick v6]

those aint technic tyres are they by any chance

i worked for a garage that was a main fitter of these technic tyres
there was speed rated as normal but i would never trust them

the amount that came back with faults with tread seperation and great big bulges where the inner side wall had broke apart

very dodgy tyres
don't trust them

[nick v6]

don't really call them remoulds any more
remanufactured tyres now

[MartinP]

Did you soil yourself 

Offside rear, held quite straight, slowed down reasonably quickly and headed for the hard shoulder.

No great drama  8-) 8-)

very very dodgy

whats the speed rating on those

the max speed that kingpin used to do was a h speed rating

would never put a remould on anything bigger than a standard classic mini

[nick v6]

h speed rating on a mig
should not be aloud


where did you go to get them fitted

please don't say tyrex in great barr

[Del Boy]

H rating is 130 MPH 

[nick v6]

H rating is 130 MPH 

on a remould they would never reach that speed
ive seen h rated remoulds go at 80mph

those tyres are really only any good if you just doing short jornerys at 20mph in a little car like an old mini or a metro

[Del Boy]

Yup 

[KillerWatt]

If you truly knew just how small the contact (tyre/tarmac) area is, you'd want the best you can afford.

[HolyCount]

H rating is 130 MPH 

But it's not just the speed that counts --- most of these tend to go on acceleration

H rating is 130 MPH 

thought all remoulds were 70mph?

either way, I'd never entertain the idea, they should be illegal on cars

[MartinP]

They should be illegal on lorries as well going by the amount of rubber on the side of the motorway

kingpin was 1 of the first makes of remoulds and there first lot of tyres was always a p speed rating

although they have managed to increase there speed rating on the tyre to a h speed rating they still aint any good for big car over 70mph

i have fitted loads of these remoulds tyres but hated every second

i used to sell either a branded part worn or even a bugdet tyre to customers

the amount of warnings i had because i didnt sell many remoulds was unbeleavable
