If you need some 265 30 19's and dont mind brand new but 5 year old rubber then tyreleader are selling Cooper zeon 2XS FOR 54 POUNDS EACH! I go through a set of rears each 12 months and willing to take a punt on Cooper _ well known in America less so here but are part of Avon/toyo apparently. My local place sells these for around 130 a piece.

Delivered from Germany today for free and they look perfect. I did exactly the same last year with a set of fuldas from these guys, again 5 years old, and with some eagle f1's the year before, again some years old.

Just wanted to share a bargain https://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyr...r19-93y-425909

I know people will raise the issue of aging rubber. In that case, this post is not for you.

Good find. I don't think 5 year old tyres are too bad if they have been stored in a dry, cool safe place.

As long as they don't turn up with cracking, I'd say they are good to go

Good price but wouldn't risk the aged rubber tbh

Depends what mileage your doing, 2011 tyres will probably be fine if your going to use them up in a year or two, and given that appears to be the case with the OP, it seems like a decent punt, certainly far better than some Linglong ditchfinders for similar money.

Very true, didn't see his point about his mileage offset. Definitely a good punt and better than any ditch finders like you said.

Totally agree, if they were staying on for say two or three years or longer then no I wouldnt do it.But rears only seem to last 12-14k which is always my yearly mileage.
