Topped up the tyres with my Ring air compressor. They'd all dropped a few psi since last time, rears more so than fronts. Soon be time to replace the Conti 5Ps on the front, but am going to replace all 4 tyres at same time. Looking at Michelin PS4S for a change after several years on 5Ps. Have started saving!
It's a good job you have a big girl cave to store all the emergency spare tyres in
The Michelins will certainly be a good choice of tyre to replace the Contis going from general glowing reviews of them.
Us Bridgestone wearers can only be envious!
Well I'll have 2 part worn Conti 5P's up for grabs when I make the switch - they were new on last Aug so will have about 5K miles on - cheap to a good home. Shame you have 18's.
I'm really looking forward to trying the Michelins, after nearly 6 years of 5Ps. Time for a change.
If I had 19's I'd bite your arm off for them (not literally unless you'd cooked it thoroughly first) but alas I'm a reformed character now and roll around being deafened by 18" Bridgestones.
In fact I've come to love (loathe?) the S001's or whatever they're called so much that I've bought my second set in seven weeks...
It's like Stockholm Syndrome with tyres. You've spent so long with them, you've come to think they are good.
I'll flog my tyre cast-offs to someone less psychologically damaged.
Well, I got a free gift with the set I just bought.
I would say "hold them for me in your girl cave for a bit" (actually that sounds a bit wrong but you get my drift) just in case I accidentally buy a set of 19" wheels, but on balance I think I'd rather you sold them to someone else and then I can concentrate on hoovering the carpets instead of looking at wheels on the interweb.
A set of Bridgestones is a bit like penance. I deserve punishment. (actually that sounds a bit wrong too, I think I'll just shut up now)
Lol.
And what was the tempting free gift? Was it cake, you know you have history with cake, lol. And isn't that why VW put those underseat drawers in!
Now you've said that about the tyres, I am going to hold them for you, so drop the hoover and start looking for some 19s. In fact I have a third Conti 5P in the 'cave' which has about 6.5k miles on, so if you can find another part worn, that's the full set!
