Hi Michelin XZL 7.50 x 16

And yes they are on number 5s as well. I bought a number 5 purely for the tyres.

As soon as steel treks hit 6 year old they are off and replaced with XZLs

So they have been in change over for about 5 years now.

Jeez guys, my FFR had the original Good Years (whoops , not Dunlops) on them and I couldn't hear a thing above 80 kph .. so I thought I was doing really well when I swapped the Olympics off the 2x no5 trailers I have .. should have targeted some Michelins'   :o :o
