Thats the second story I have heard of rear tyres only being winter and spinning out. Were they Chinese clones?

Must suggest that getting a full good quality set is the right thing to do.

Tunnie seems to have had a reasonable experience on the winter tyres in real winter weather.
Didn't get the model of the winters, but they are Michelin.

Retract that quickly or TB will have a fit!

Bit late to worry about that I think. ;)

You're letting the side down Mike  .... how do you expect me to pay the remnants of my mortgage if you don't buy Beanz with a Z  :y :y :y :y



as an aside ......  ::)
A work mate & I had a motor & gearbox to change. Found said motor gearbox, unbolted it, found a spark to disconnect it electrically (multi-skilled is a dirty word  ::))
A long story later, we refitted the same unit to get product out of the cooker. We only burnt £11000 of product!  ??? ???
