Post by: 182_blue on 17 May 2008, 07:04
As title, got some new tyres cheap  :cool: ,, now do i put them on my spare pescaras ?, or do i get some BBS CH's in black with a red rim ?

Blinking flip its early to be posting pics up!

What state are your current tyres in?  I had F1's on my Mk4, a great tyre, if you treat them right, not too bad in the wear stakes either.

I personally don't like the black CH's with the red lip, there is a set doing the rounds of the various classifieds. 

I would get the Pescaras re-painted to a black chrome effect, i am looking to do this soon.

How much are the conti's out of interest?

i know its ealry, but my baby doesnt understand what time of day it is LOL, i think the black may be extreme for me,, my tyres are nearly new mate, no wear on them, these are for my spares, i would like to get my spares painted too, but there are brand new and i cant justify doing it with them in such condition, i was waiting till i kerbed one but thats not happening  :lipsrsealed: :laugh:

i did my old spare ST alloys in smoke chrome

Hi 182_blue,

Those smoke chromes look fab, would look great on white. Plus love the black wheel red pinstripe combo.

Just to say I got the eagle F1's fitted 2 days ago and I am loving them!!!! 244 fitted two fronts only... not bad price from a local garage.

Still bedding in at the mo, but already im hitting corners at speeds that the dunlops would scream on. They are just so much better than the dunlops its a joke, very slightly quieter too i would say. But its the grip thats most impressive. Yet to try them in the wet, but that is where the dunlops seemed to stand out. Will keep you posted. :nerd:
