Pity the poor sbapper who had to take this picture--the rain is fairly bouncing off the ground! meanwhile Biglorryblog can reveal that Scottish haulage company Ian S Roger has switched to an all-Michelin policy for its trucks and trailers following a successful in-house tyre trial which saw a set of Michelin XDN2 Grip tyres on a drive axle return 260,000km with their first re-groove. Company director Colin Roger tells BLB: "We initially trialled a set of Michelins and were amazed at the performance. Over the last decade we've fitted cheaper tyres to our vehicles in the belief that we'd be saving money, but we never seemed to get any mileage out of them and suffered frequent punctures. It proves that in this business you really do get what you pay for!" Now click through here for more...

Quite Colin. And having just paid out megabucks for my Mighty Multipla I'm tempted to agree with you....anyway Colin continues: ""Our vehicles use a mixture of A-roads, motorways and occasionally go off-road when visiting livestock or agricultural customers, so tyres endure a hard life with us. XDN2 Grip tyres offer increased performance and traction over a variety of surfaces and, coupled with a complete Michelin fitment package, we've noticed a significant reduction in the number of tyre related breakdowns."
