17" Ruby tyres
#11
I've fitted the same Longstone tyrres to my Ruby 2yrs ago. The car lives outdoors in all weathers (apart from some of the winter where it goes under a cover). I've covered about 5,000mls on them and they're probably about 1/3rd worn with no signs of cracking at all. The handling is woeful, but I've put this down to a combination of 1920s chassis/suspension design and crossply tyres.....

In contrast I have a 3 year old Cayman owned from new that started showing tyre cracking on the outer shoulders at 6months; now at 3yrs they're in a real state and about to be replaced even though they're only half worn - and these are Pirelli Pzeros, so an extremely reputable brand and ~£220/tyre to replace. An argument with the dealer has never been had as I don't think it's one I would ever win....
