Well It didn't end up being 31 weeks after all !!  :wink:



Looking at that pic is reassuring me that suffering a 10 week extra wait (anticipated delivery time, never wanted it before new plate day) for Pretorias looks to be well worth it when they are paired with Lapiz.  :smiley:

So what tyres did it come with?

Here's my loaner the dealer gave to use for the last week. It's got the Sport & Sound pack and sounds like a Subaru Boxer engine from inside  :laugh:

Prefer your R.  Didn't you say previously it came with Bridgestone RE050's?

Dry grip won't be a bother with 4WD on RE050 i'm sure, but wet grip/traction will likely leave them a huge liability if you fling the R around a bit Almost tempted to buy a set of Uniroyal Rainsport 3s, they're £95 each + a bit of postage or £115 each mobile fitted in R19 235/35 XL 91Y at tyretraders right now. They don't last a hell of a long time, but they have pretty much unbeatable wet grip even if Michelin PSS and Conti 5s will outdo them in the dry for 1.5x the price.
