I'll be interested to hear what you think of the Kingpins in use.
Are they mediums or softs?

They are for my Moke, so all they ever do is potter about. can't really comment on performance.

I wasn't inspired by them, even just pottering around on a the one trip up the road I did, however I could never really decide if it was the tyres or the road conditions.

So unsure whether to give them another go or sell the 6 I have to Moke owners! (currently favouring the latter).

I'm perfectly happy with mine on the Moke.

Didn't Brynmor say he was hoping to import some? Not sure if there are any good options for getting them in the UK otherwise?

I did indeed, the challenge faced was by the time we added carriage, import duty, vat etc they were coming in about £180-£200 ish.
If we had confirmed orders I’d possibly still do it, but there was so much wing and a prayer currently I’ve popped it on hold.
