but unlike your car Dave, mine has stuff done to it  :whistle:

Finally dug the Winters out of the shed and got them fitted on friday

Very good feel, even in the snow. good traction even in deep snow  :cool:

bad vibration at 70 ish  :huh: :lipsrsealed:

cold but wet roads tonight meant I could push on a bit and the grip and feedback is impressive, and after a few spirited roundabout exits the vibration has dissapeared, bit like the 3 series BMW that was a tad twitchy coming off the last roundabout  :laugh: :grin:



Well worth the £140 for the 4 matched 2nd hand dunlops  :smiley: fitted on a set of old elite rims I had kickin about

 found out I had broke it again  :grin: :laugh:

its fixed - despite a stupid design fault ( apart from being a vauxhall of course  :whistle: )  :cool:

got even more Power and will hopefully a lot better mpg than the last 8 to 10k  :laugh: :rolleyes: :lipsrsealed: :shocked:
