Winter Contis off and Bridgestones back on today.

Kwik fit are now only charging £40 per season for tyre storage - not bad when you consider it would cost at least £20 to have them swapped over if you stored them at home. And no hassle, treated my wheels with the utmost respect again.

My front Bridgestones are about 50% worn, I'm definitely going for Continental when the time comes.
The Winter Contis got me out of a few 'situations' over the last few months, and they should be good for 3 or 4 years.
I'm a convert.

Bluefin back on after a few weeks. Now I remember why I like this car so much. :smiley: :smiley:

^^ near enough for me, Spring is in the air :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I know the Protenzas aren't the best but the difference in feel/responsiveness is noticeable.

Anyway, going to do a full clean/polish/detail this weekend so wanted the summers back on for that.

Back on Topic: :grin:

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 in 225/40 R18 92Y XL BSW is now available from mytyres for approx £173.

(The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 in 225/45 R17 94Y XL BSW from mytyres is only approx £116 - LUCKY DOC!)

So, I am off to my tyre place soon to order these. As they have just been released, their price is a bit high. I presume, that in a couple of weeks, their price might drop a bit as the rest of the competition comes on stream.
