Graham S Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Decided as my mate has just picked up his inferior J spec ( ) N/A i better MOT and re insure my baby and show him what he should have placed his credit cards on! (No offence mate, if your reading this! ) Being an MOT tester myself, i already know it'll pass (not dodgy before anyone says) with 2 front rubbers, due to going to the pod running a flat most of the way without knowing and scrubbing the inner edge, which now is showing lovely metal cords !.. I've been on to our tyre suppliers and they said they can do me some Eagle F1 GSD3's for £94, each, fully fitted, including valves and balancing etc. Is this a good price, I'm not to far from micheldever tyres so just wondering if its worth calling them if anyone knows they will be cheaper? I've been checking out other peoples threads about what tyres to choose and these seem to be the best choice. (quite fancied pirelli p-zero's though but was told they don't do my size, front or rear??) Well anyway does anyone know what sort of prices i can get these for if any cheaper?? BTW they are standard UK 17's 235/45/17.. Thanks...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Recently changed to P-Zeros all round. 255/40 ZR 17" P-Zero Asimmetrico on rear. £128 each 235/45 ZR 17" P-Zero Rosso on front. £122 each Its the Asimmetrico that they don't make in 235/45. But have found the Rosso's grip just as well in the wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham S Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 Yeh Lee thats the one, was nice, but to me the graphics were not my cup of tea. He spent shed loads on it and lost loads when he sold it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham S Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 That would be a good Lee, don't know of any though? Know of any?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham S Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hope not!! He said he wasn't gonna do anything to it, but has already spent 1500 on an alarm and stereo and just had a custom exhaust fitted from enzo!! Sounds and looks good, but haven't seen it underneath to check the quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
