Will go back for retest soon.
3 tyres on verge and literally just under the 1.6mm and width rules.
That is a few hundred as I am dropping a complete set on.

Ah well Martin, at least it's a simple enough fix (if expensive) :y
-
agreed. might be expensive but at least its only a general maintenance job :) :) :) :)

I paid £50 a corner for my Wanli ditchfinders.....they seem O.K...ish... :y

Give Jeffries Tyres in Bromsgrove a call, they are usually pretty competitive on price. :y

Already ordered some from Crown Tyres who will price match the internet sites.
I am too scared to buy cheap tyres after a few bad experiences.
2.0CD which would not stop wheel spinning a cheapy rear.
3.0 MV6 which broke away suddenly with a budget tyre.
Sticking to know but unfortunately expensive brands.
I still have my big over draft facility :y :y

Yep, agree about the Kumho's. KU31's seem to have the balance between performance and price correct.

Don't need bricks, just pinch some wheels off a few other cars around...

Totally agree on premium tyres, bought my car in the summer and changed the whole set as soon as the temperatures dropped even though there was plenty of tread.
I'd have personally changed before the MOT though, I change between 2-3mm usually.

Gone through them a bit quick - I think it is the new cams fault

Agreed - just stuck some on my Calibra. Not sure how long they'll last but they certainly did well in the snow before xmas and I have no issue with grip (unlike the Michelin Pilots it had on beforehand....)

I would suggest its the owner of the right foots fault! ;D :y

I also get my torque wrench out at tyre change time and the fitters do use it.
