Hi All I'm looking at replacing all 6 of my motorhome tyres. Tyre place recommended Toyo which I know is a good brand but as a cheaper alternative he recommended RADAR ARGINITE which I've never heard of. Has anyone come across them or have any useful info about them good or bad. Thanks in advance Di
