Hi. New to this group. Could anyone tell me where I might get part worn or the cheapest tyres for my boom Trike. Rear tyres are 295/50/15. Limited funds. Thanks..

What price do you put on your life, personally since they keep you safe on the road I'd go new. £80+ on eBay
Freedom has a price, the cost is buried in the ground :nono:

Like i said. Limited funds. Plus I'm an ex Tyre fitter so I know what I'm looking at. Obviously I wouldn't buy anything that wasn't safe & legal. Thanks anyway. ;-)

Not what you'd call budget though are they LOL! Are they Bimmer M5 / Audi RS6 type sizes?
If so, would have thought main dealers for tyres off fleet cars maybe? Thinking about it - 15's are a bit old skool in those widths / profile?

295/50 x 15 are the largest BF Goodrich 15 inch tyres note of that diameter and have generally a lower speed rating than Ferrari-esk tyres (note the diameter screws the whole thing up) ........there are a couple of cheaper alternative , Cooper do one, and I believe General do another

You can get Pirelli P7 in 345/35 and 285/40 and 45 profile but they are seriously expensive, the tread is also not as deep as the Coopers

Lambo Countach use a 225/50 x 15 on the front axle
