Car goes into the tyre fitters on Monday morning to get the correct Pzeros fitted this time...currently the front wheels are shod with Pzero runflats....a Merc tyre fitment...its been expensive...but hopefully l can sell the Merc runflat Pzeros on Ebay to recoup some Dosh

@jassyo06 - Won't be doing the dark car thing again mateNever in a Million years could l own a Dark Blue or Black painted car mate....if you really use it properly...ie mileage wise....that is,ok if yer poncing about here and there but...my Mrs wee Fiesta....is a ******* nightmare to maintain and its got road rash and some stone chips already and its not a year old til this April 8500k miles atm
No pics mate? Good work, let’s see some when you have polished and waxed bummer on the pzeros, how did that happen?
@jassyo06 - A serious seeing too buddy
A brave man / serious detailer at this time of year
Pic's would be nice
Had ditch finder run flats on the wife's old JCW MINI & I thought they were truly dangerous TBH
If I remember rightly I put some Hankook's on which were the preferred tyre of choice at that time for the JCW
Did the same as you & got rid of the RF's on eBay
Heard some rumours about tyres being awkward to send via post nowadays. Might be worth checking out mate
@jassyo06 - Won't be doing the dark car thing again mate
Just thinking about keeping a black car gives me the eeebbbeee jeeebee's (not sure about the spelling lol)
Just about getting away with the blue on the Cupra at the mo lol
Pleased the wife's Captur is white, albeit with a black roof ***
Tyre dilemma blame is 50/50 mate they ie National tyres didnt fit the correct tyres i ordered but l didnt want to risk them taking the runflats back off and refitting the older OEM tyres....so they will have only done 150 miles when they've been replaced by the correct AO Pzeros on Monday...so going sell the Merc RO runflats on ebay....if i dont i'll keep em and fit them on the car when l sell it on

@jassyo06 - I'm not so much a tyre snob but defo a bit anal about the uniformity thing a ma jiggyYeah the ride is overly firm at the front....the profile/sidewall is far taller than the AO tyres on the rear....its been expensive but l am a Uber tyre Snob and l love tyre uniformity
Any suggestions on a good handheld snowfoam spray bottle? I can't use my Karcher atm, I have managed to find a self-wash place locally and planning on taking both the cars there tomorrow and use their pressure washer.
