I used them in 2001 and they were fine.

There has been a lot of bad press since - do a quick search on these threads.

they have changed from a big company running from a petrol station sized garage to a little workshop down a back street, they dont keep any tyres or wheels in stock. i rang them up in january, to get a set of wheels and tyres for my hilux as we got a set for the landrover from them at a show a few years ago and i new where they were and would be in the area, rang them up 2 weeks in advance to order them as i was traveling up from hertfordshire to them in derbyshire. rang again the day before i went, they said the tyres were in and the wheels would be there that afternoon. when i got their the next day the workshop i new about was closed down, no one was answering the phonenumber i rang to arange it all and eventually found the new place by asking in garages. got there, said who i was and the bloke i was talking to said  "oh yeah they havent come in yet, you probably need to come back on monday " obviously i didnt. :evil: :evil: :x

The first time i dealt with them, i did it online, ordered a set of 8x16 rims, they rang the next day and said they were out of stock, and would be for a while.... i said fine, and waited..... about 4 months later i gave up and said i'd have 7x16's...... they duely arrived, and 2 of the 5 had to go back cos they were crap..... in fact, all five that i now have are basically crap, but they were the only people i could find that could supply a zero offset rim......

If i wanted another set of whels. i'd go elsewhere, as there seemed to be too many different people answering the phone, and none of them knew what the others had said...

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!
gone from 200tdi.... to 300tdi... still with loads done to it, in fact, even more than the last truck...LOL!!!

This is only hearsay so don't sue me mr bronco,

But I've heard from a numbers (4 - 5 different unrelated people) that they have gone belly up (again) and havn't taken the website down, so you can order but don't ever expect the goods to arrive.

Grizzleys are rubbish rubbish tyres too, ok in the mud, but side wall are far to hard so you can't air them down, the tread is very hard so no grip at all on rock, and they have a habbit of de-laminating on the road as well as the side walls bulging. That and they have no resembalance to the size stamped on the side wall. For the money I'd go for recipts, insa's or a number of other companies before having the misfortune of ever owning another set of grizzleys.  :evil:

Some time back now 2yrs ago, I had the pleasure of taking them to court, so have had many dealings with them, if they have gone belly up they have their just deserves for selling me a set of illegal tyres........

I used bronco once ...seemed pretty good .but that was a good few years ago

but since heard all sorts of horror stories ..so wouldn't use them again [-X [-X

anyway ...i thought they went into receivership recently ...well worth checking on before you order

Go to http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/ and then click on the WebCheck Service on the right of the page. Enter Bronco 4x4 and it shows them as dissolved.
