New rubber

[Khufu]

MOT was due the other day so I got my mechanic to do it and to my surprise, the front tires failed. I knew they were past best - on the 'limiters' but hadnt seen the bald patch 1.5cm wide on the inside edges

Went for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric at £77+vat each from our local supplier Viking. Was very surprised to, by chance, realise that I could have got them online for the same price delivered

They seem good so far but compare to what was left of my old ones anything would LOL

what size is the tyres mate?

 

[Khufu]

just standard 225x45r17

 

[khalil]

thats a good price i think

You've done well. I thought £199.99 for a pair supplied & fitted by my local ATS chap was good.

I have found that, with the XL rating, keeping your tyre pressures up is a must though. Handling and economy seem to suffer quite badly if you don't.

Will do. I fitted & balanced them myself so saved money there, always a fun job on 45 profile tyes! Managed to fit without any damage to the rims though I did need a large pry bar to aid with fitting!

It was 77+VAT which makes them similarly priced, least this way though we can claim the VAT back.
