Hello peeps....
Unfortunately last week I was the victim of a concerted ram raid on my barn in Fawkham in Kent. Thieves cut through three locked gates, smashed through a hedge and barbed wire fence to gain access to my locked barn...
Unfortunately they stole my Brian James Tiltbed race car trailer, a full set of five Discovery HSE alloys that were fitted with almost new unmarked Goodyear MTR tyres, (dated 2010 and 2011)
They also stole a full set of 5 brand new Goodyear MTR's which were not fitted to rims....these again were 2010 manufactured and one of them which still had the stipples on was dated 2004..
I also had a set of four P38 five star HSE wheels and tyres. Unusually three of them were Holland and Holland rims which are identifiable by having the spokes painted in a Tintern green finish.
So if anyone sees or is offered some MTR tyres over the next few weeks I would be very very grateful for a heads up!
My trailer is also unique. It is a Brian James twin axle tilt bed vin BJT 98- 5955. It was fitted with a Datatag registration 7DAA58. Fitted with an extended height tyre rack, new buffalo board centre, new vinyl spare wheel cover, five new matching GT tyres....

So sorry to hear about your situation. If any of those items should be offered to me for sale I will get in touch immediately. Hopefully we will have some luck and the thieves will be caught and locked away for a very long time.
Best of luck

Thanks Paul.... Can't believe the lengths they went to.....we'll probably find the tyres fitted to a transit tipper now!

Sorry to hear your news mate, that trailer is almost identical to mine!!
Will keep my ear to the ground as at some of the pay & play sites I go to we get offered offroad tyres for sale. The MTR's will be pretty distinct though due to the size!
Best Regards

Thanks guys!
The Holland and Holland wheels are pretty unique too!
The thing I am mostly aggrieved about is losing the trailer...had spent ages and lots of money getting it to spec and was using it on an almost daily basis!
Gutted!

Thanks David but all of mine were almost new...the alloys were unmarked and the tyres probably had 10/11 mm on them ....I bought a whole set from a dealer who buys take offs from JLR....
The ones not on rims had probably only done 50 miles.....
Gutted still!
