[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I've decided to go with the latest version of what she is already wearing. I believe TB is a big fan.

Goodyear Eagle F1 As3 225/45/17 (91Y)....£64.99

                                     Wheel balance...£6.75

                                     Standard valve...£4.75

                                     Tyre disposal.....£1.50

                                     Home fitting.......FREE

   
                                     TOTAL..................£77.99 each.


The 'fronts' have already lasted 13500 miles and are still legal. I'm quite surprised as the same tyres lasted barely 11000 miles on the rear of my 2.6 MV6, a car with  80 BHP and 80 lb ft less of twist to deal with.


Strange.

My astra has done 31,000 miles and the rears are original.

How many miles from the front (driving wheels)?

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

.....with barely enough grunt to pull the skin off a rice pudding they should last quite well.

How many miles from the front (driving wheels)?

I had them changed at 27,000 miles.

[STEMO]

I like to think it's my driving style 








Maybe, a bit, due to lack of power.

Impressive. Almost Tunniesque.

[STEMO]

No need for grippy replacements either. 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

No need for grippy replacements either. 

The cost of replacement tyres seem quite reasonable at present.

A few year back I would have paid £100 a corner, not £77.

[STEMO]

I paid £60 odd for my fronts....I suppose you'd call them mid range. General tire......Yank company.

I have Goodyear Eagle F1 As2's on the front of the VW, not brilliant I must say. Average performance.

I think the yanks should be compelled to use 'British english'

The word is centre......not center

The word is colour.......not color.

Perhaps we should start a war and take back the colonies.

Do you have any air in them?

Do you have any air in them?

About 36 things of the stuff.

I can quite easily make them loose traction, perhaps more diesel torque than anything else.

That's why they feel average...
