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


"Kingpin"  "remolded in England"   :( :(

very very dodgy

whats the speed rating on those

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

 :y   "H" speed rating

What is that "Sunday driving through the village to the shop at the other end" driving  ::)


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

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

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

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

thought all remoulds were 70mph?

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

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
