New rubber!
« on: 07 March 2014, 18:52 »
Well at long last it would appear my habit of spinning up my front wheels in these greasy road conditions has finally paid off! At last I need some new front tyres so I can finally ditch the set of crappy budget tyres, which were on my car when I bought it 18 months ago. Off to get a set of Goodyear asymmetric 2's tomorrow and I'll finally have a full matching set  :cool:

Always nice to get on some good tyres, I swear by Michelin Pilot Sport 3's.  Just need to wear the Dunlops down on the front and I'll be on a full set  :smiley:
