One is flat, the other is bulged.

Luckily I have a spare to swap over, 2 tyres to get now.

They're going to be cheaper than an Omega's .......

Around £40 I think - difficult to read the codes - 195 I am sure, rest not sure.

I was going to replace this year - 6 years old

usually reinforced aren't they? different number of plies etc etc .... I've not had to change any yet.
We're heading to France this year so I might invest in a couple myself for the trip.
Didn't Matador get some bad press recently .... tyres shredding?  :-/

Just as a thought, it's possible to get steel plates that bolt on to your axles, which means you can store the tyres in the garage or such like to save them from perishing. It also acts as an anti-theft device. I know several people who swear by them to protect their tyres.

tyres are really only any good for 3 years before the rubber starts to perrish
like dad1uk said get some plates that bolt to the axle or even make some
store your wheels in the garage/shed and keep them covered
just to stop them perishing so quick

your gonna need reinforced tyres for the caravan
and matador's don't touch them on a caravan

That's interesting to know. Would be handy for the glider trailer. I reckon the tyres on that do about 500 miles before they perish from sitting out on a damp airfield 365 days a year.
