Once my tyres are down to 3mm, they get changed. Don't see any point in watching them deteriorate down to 2  ;D

The rear tyres on my Tata could go from 3mm to 2mm in an afternoon. :-X ;D ;D

285/30/20 they were not cheap to replace. :(

That's the point, mine are cheap(ish), so no point in holding off replacing them  :y

Haven't you bought anything equally daft to replace it with yet?  ;D

I've been tempted by a 'BMW M lite car'......something smaller than the XFR. A car missing 2 litre, 2 cylinders, and about 130 BHP. :-\

Those tyres are not expensive  ::)

https://www.barnsley-tyres.co.uk/TyreSearch/Details/108422/Grenlander+L-Zeal+56+28530R20

I went for Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. They cost considerably more than £97.

They were excellent though. :y

You're correct because I'm interested in the XDrive variant.

When my astra dies, I'm going for something in SUV form. I want comfort more than performance these days.

This one.

Even if I ordered one now they are talking about September delivery at best. Crazy.

Nippy and practical.

I've been looking at PCP deals but I've never 'rented' a car before so it feels odd.

I'm told everybody rents their cars rather than buy them these days though..... :-X

Pity, especially when bmw have just announced the M3 touring, just think how much fun the whippet would have going from 0-60 in 4 seconds  :o

You want a RWD BMW delivering in March, ready for the spring/summer, not September when there's five or six months of slipperyness ahead.
