Opinions?
Dad's looking for some new tyres for his BMW 330Ci E46
So far best price is pushing £700
"A remould tyre is made from an old tyre whose tread is worn-out but whose carcass (basic structure) is sound. Preparation for remoulding involves stripping away the tread of the worn-out tyre. The final part of the process moulds a new tread onto the old carcass using a new rubber compound."
Remoulds would work out at £150 !!!
Anyone know if they're good/bad, or had them before etc?

Personally I wouldnt. Cant put a price on tyres as its the only thing between you and the road.
Drives supercharged Tec with torque
