Title: What a difference.
Post by: 2boxerdogs on 05 June 2014, 12:59:38: When I purchased my 2.6 it had a virtually new set of Michelin Primacys on it, I fitted a new set recently and the car has always driven beautifully on these tyres.The 2.2 came with Pirellis & I have never really been happy with the feel of it today I had two new Michelins fitted on the front wheels & boy what a difference car now drives great I have even had it valeted SWMBO will be pleased when she gets it back !! However being a woman will probably not even notice the difference.

Standard fit on the MV6, so Vauxhall obviously rate them.

I had them fitted to mine but found Goodyear F1 asy2 far superior. :y

I don't have a tractor.

I bought it of the Wurzels for £10. Those boys are none too bright.

Steve doesn't have to buy his own tyres (or cars for that matter) He's a scouser. ::) ::) ;D

Steven Gerrard is the only scouser who actually buys his own car. :)
