Because reinforced (more ply) tyres are recommended by Mazda?? :?
Better answer than the one I've been trying to come up with for the past 24 hours, dandy!! Trouble is, I absorb more information than I think I have and then come up with a conclusion that I don't know how I reached! I knew reinforced tyres were recommended somewhere :roll: :oops:

Thank you for that, will bear it in mind.

And thank you to those who have congratulated me (or rather Seymour) on the MOT pass! Bit like being congratulated on a wedding anniversary really - you get through both year after year provided the basic regular maintenance is carried out on both vehicle and marriage!!!

I thought if the load rating was up to scratch then that's all she wrote? I've only driven one bongo on van tyres and found it "interesting"... :?
