lol! xD

unlucky about the wheels.... i had trouble getting my tyres on when i got new ones as they were slightly squashed as the garage said 'we dont sell many 10" tyres' so they had to be streached onto the wheels! lol

i have some wellers i may part with...

I think somone up there must be looking out for me as I pulled into a service station on the a55 after the fast lane jaunt! Just to think I could have so easily had a high speed blow out if I had carried on. Could have been fatal.

Not Wellers for me thanks!

Thanks, yeah they do look great, Im getting those A032's on it also. Will see how long they last...a long time since theyre £50 a tyre! With the amount of miles I do they should be fine.

so have you just bought those???

Monday before 12 ...Yes.

They lasted 1500 miles on mine, the fronts have about a 1mm before the indicator, swap them front to back if you can to make them last longer.

Okay thanks for the tip. I clock up very few miles per annum.

Some questions for you: How do the tyres perform in the dry, and how do they perform in the wet - what are they like in the winter?

Thanks in advance, Tom

[Jackman]

I cannot fault the tyres in wet or dry, however now mine are a bit low wet driving isnt as fun, aquaplaned once but as long as your careful and remember about them they are great.

Not used them in winter yet, id say they would be the same in winter, just make sure your just as careful as normal.

Drive on them as you do with normal tyres, ignore that they are supposed to be good, get used to them.

Pictures don't do them any justice - taken on my phone. Well here they are...







What you think?

Tom

[Jackman]

Your rear wheel is on the wrong side... they are directional. dont worry i made that mistake at first.

Other than that they look awsome!
