The OH had a blow out on her Daf 45 horse box a couple of weeks ago which took out both right rear tyres (Uniroyal R2000). They were replaced at the roadside with Fullrun TB785s. The other rear pair look none to pretty so I want to replace them as a precaution, and a quick Google suggests that the Fullrun's are winter trailer tyres?

So question for the lorry experts - are the Fullrun's OK to use on the rear of the lorry (I'd want the same tyres on all rear wheels) or should I replace all four with a different make/model of tyre?

The nice thing about the Uniroyals is that they have quite a nobbly tread which (psychologically at least) makes you feel like you've got some grip when you are driving across muddy fields. The Fullruns have a very car-like tread pattern.

Any helpful advice gratefully received.

Contact the manufacturer. You cant really rely on a website description from a third party. I would be surprised if drives and trailer tyres differed, but I cant be certain.
