Hi peeps. I have just got my first Lc4 auto and I need advice on tyres. I have 3x Goodyear with plenty of tread and 1x new Enduro (on front) the underslung spare is quite low on tread. Should I make the enduro the spare and buy another dunlop or don't bother. I don't really want to replace the lot due to expense. Most of my driving is on the road with occassional towing of caravan or trailer. I also noticed the Enduro has the white lettering on the inside. Is the tyre the wrong way round (direction of rotation) if so is it safe. Also what pressures would you run the dunlops on. I haved moved over from disco 2 the cruiser is much better so far.

It's always best to keep the same tyres on the same axle. The cheapest way to do it is put a new Enduro on the same axle (front) and put the Goddyear or Dunlop if you've figured them out yet  Laughing as the spare.

Thanks Stu. I had goodyear on my brain because they were on my other vehicle. Due to census of opinion on this site if I had the extra dosh I would of changed them all for grabbers or goodrich. But I aint so I am going to get another dunlop ( other dunlops all have 7mm ) and make enduro a spare. When the dunlops wear out then I will put some of the above on instead.
