You only dreamt that you touched her, but the laptop (I forgot to mention laptops) definitely touched you.

I do this on a regular basis.

Does Mrs Opti have to wash the sheets sullied as a result of your fascination with her sister? That's cruel.

Mine have been on for 3 years and 30,000 miles. The impending MOT means I need to buy another pair.
They are 235/45 17's in the £110 a pair? That will do fine brand

30,000 miles out of the rear tyres.....I'm impressed.

How did you manage such mileage?

Concrete tyres, painted black...

No I've been driving for 27 years, so I've learnt the technique of driving properly.

Luv that kind of statement - remember years ago an older guy rammed the side of my car - his first words were "I've been driving for 27 years and never had an accident" - my rely "Well you've had one now!".

BTW, I've been driving for over 50 years

[TheBoy]

If its a soft tyre, that's still poor, even by my standards.

I run my 235/45/17's rear at 30 psi (F=32psi), but still get centre wear. Its what Omegas do. Swapping front to back helps, as fronts will aim for a motorbike tyre profile.

That highlights the mistake of posting after a good dinner and drinks!

Thinking about it now, that should have read " I've been driving for 27 years, and have learnt to do so with some finesse."

Fixed that for you Nick.     

[Nick W]

learned to live with my ingrained bad habits

I have plenty of those, but they don't seem to cause avoidable wear and tear or breakages!

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Mustn't grumble......My £50 a corner Wanli Ditchfinders were finished in less than 6000 miles.

I was hoping for 15000 miles though. After all it's only a 180 BHP 2.6.

Ah, yes, I got catastrophically low mileage out of those.  Of the 6 I've had, 2 were spent within 10k (one with a bloody great blister in the rubber), 2 had a worrying inner wall cracking, which upon inspection, they agreed was a tyre failure (on both tyres), and gave me 40% back, and 2 are sat in the shed.

It appears to be a tyre that cannot tolerate being driven beyond its limits.

Is this a euphemism for 'shite'?

I have to say, piss poor mileage apart, that I rate these tyres. They are quiet, grip well wet or dry, and if you are willing to shop around can be bought inexpensively.
