New tyres today.
« on: 28 August 2015, 12:07:21 »
That very very nice man from Kwik Fit is coming to my house. This will save me a forty mile round trip. :)

I'm sure he'll be more than capable of doing the job. :)

So, £75 a corner fitted. :)

I wish. ;D

According to the invoice all tyres torqued to 120 NM. I'm not sure if that is good or bad.

All tyres have 'made in Germany 'on the sidewall. According to the Vectra C forum there are a number of fake Eagle F1's about. These apparently have 'made in Thailand' stamped on the sidewall.

120nm is pretty much perfect. I usually go for ''zip them up until the impact gun starts smoking'' in the shop.....  ;D ;D
