Deestone tyres, directional?
« on: June 24, 2009, 21:14:11 »
Quick question  :D

Are Deestone 7.50's directional  :huh:

as I have two to fit on the front of my series, they do have faint red and green rings running around the tyre as there quite
new.

Same as ones in picture bellow

Thanks

not directional as far as i know, if they are there would be an arrow on the sides showing which way round to put them (arrow faces direction of travel)....

i'd be very wary of them in the wet, i have them on the back of my truckcab 88" and in the slightest damp they slide on islands and junctions in Birmingham (even when i only had my 2.25 diesel powering it rather than the 200Tdi)
it ain't broke ...

i ain't fixed it enough

OK, thanks for that  :D  I did look for direction arrows but could not see any!?  I dont understand what the green and red band is around the tyre??

I use Deestone 7,50s as my mud tyres. They are a bit jumpy in the wet, but they are good in the sticky stuff.
If theres a harder way to do it I`ll find it!!

Not Directional as such but you have them on the right way round.  ;)

As i was told by a wise man many moons ago, the Goodyear Xtra grip as used on the military land rovers (Same pattern as the deestone) Were fitted as you have them above. Look at them and picture the outer lugs and you get a    V V pattern all around the tyre this is the way to have them as they self clean better that way.

the green and red rings are purely for identifying the tyres in the factory when they are in big stacks.
thats going on the basis that all tyre companys do the same like.

nothing more than that.
