I fitted new wheels and tyres. In love with these Borbets and Vectors 4Seasons gen3. Rim protection on these tyres is insanely big, can easily put two, one pound coins with ease. Overall over the moon.

Early spring clean, giving the winter wheels a bit of TLC...  :smiley:

Just driving (went for a walk by the Thames) but it was a lovely day so we had the sunroof open. I would say it was great to have some wind in my hair but age and genetics denied me that but nonetheless it was very enjoyable. And the roads were nice and quiet so a little extra right foot action was had :smiley:

Got the car back from the garage and thought they'd broken it. Terrible ride, skittish, noisy, light steering, couldn't put the power down.

Panic over, turns out they decided to put 43psi in my 17" tyres.

Could you post a close up picture showing how much the tyres stick out please?

Assuming these fit stock wheels, I might consider those tyres soon too  :smiley:. I bought my car with gloss black wheels so want to protect them, already done 2 minor knocks. My other option are Goodyear Eagle F1's

The garage I bought the car from put some random "Catchpower" branded tyres on the front. They seem to be fine but loose grip easily as soon as the power kicks in, in most gears  :shocked:

Possibly door seals - try a silicone spray like Liquid Moly Gummi-Pflege
