Not an ad for North Hants Tyres......but most of these these Galaxy tyres are VR rated - so 149 mph - most of the others are 113 mph rated. Not saying if one is better than the other but I'd feel happier with the higher rated rubber underneath me.....

Tue 19 Dec 17 22:36 Re: C3 tyres - General Grabbers any good? I changed BFG's for the second time on my 79 ,they were 5 years old ,done around 15k and cracking (again) ,i've never been that impressed with them especially in the wet but they are a 40 year old pattern tread design ,I went for the Galaxy this time as i liked the more modern tread pattern ,higher speed rating and lower price and went on the assumption that a higher speed rating should be a better and more refined tyre ,i've done around 4k on them and am impressed with there ride quality and the finish of the sidewall is very good ,the whitewall lettering isnt to big and you soon get used to the different words to the iconic B F Goodrich. In a perfect world id go for the BFG if they were a better tyre and lower price just because they look best for the car but i also like my Galaxy tyres now
