You can use a/t tyres as long as you get 112/109 load rating.

The powertrac don’t look too bad when fitted, mine are 225 70 15 which is getting harder to find

They look great! Thanks. I might give those Powertrac Vantour a go! How do you find them?

I just looked on eBay :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I find them ok, they do what tyres do, it’s a difficult one for me to answer as I have non standard wheels that are 8” wide, there’s not too much road noise compared to the general grabbers I had once, they used to scream going down the road

Never tried doing myself, have a friend with a machine so hoping to avoid an extra £100 at KwikThick. :)
You fit tyres yourself?
I have done a few, trailer, ride on mower etc. Used the explosion trick with brake cleaner, wife wasn't impressed as tyre landed on son when it came back down from the barn roof :D
