just checked....£399.60 for 4 fitted

etyres also worth a look, will give you good idea of competitive prices.

My Dunlop SP9000 235/45ZR17 were £105 per corner this time last year...

Thats on the soft irmsher wheels?
happy with em for grip and not tramlining?

Generally happy. Good levels of grip wet and dry, better than anything else I've tried on it.

Any wide low profile will have a tendency to tramline. However, these appear to be handling a bit weird at moment - probably partly due to knackered wheel bearing that has just been replaced at weekend, and also due to a broken rear spring.  Once this fixed, Tony from WIM will rework his magic and I'm sure the car will be back to normal.  I've also been experiementing with tyre pressures, so that may have contributed to some strange handling lately (tyres currently quite hard - 38 psi all round)

[Jimbob]

cheers, out of interest, why you playing with pressure?

Odd tyre wear on one tyre was what started it (probably due to Milton Keynes and its roundabouts!), but then started playing with them. I found 34PSI to be about the ideal for my car from a handling point of view, but still experimenting...

Going back to the wipers....

Check that the spoiler is clear of the windscreen, if the wiper arm has got bent at some time then the blade will be at the wrong angle to the screen and spoiler may even rub on glass causing scratch mark.
Usually gets bent when someone is trying to remove wiper arms:
Bonnet up,
Undo nut,
try to remove arm,
wont budge,
lift arm to fully up posn,
still wont budge,
try lowering bonnet to work from other side,
oops, lower wiper arm first,
too late, alloy bit is already twisted slightly,
wipers squeek forevermore.

Cheers, nothing worrying then
Just thought 'why play if you like them?'

My fronts are towards the end of their life, and the rears are probably halfway. And they are only 1yr old (about 14k), but they do occasionally have a hard life

Perfect time for the question, will you buy the same to replace then?
That is always the proof of the pudding.

Most likely, unless someone can convince me otherwise. I think Marks_DTM was trying to persuade me onto contis....

I replace mine as a matter of course every 12 months, around November tine, with Bosch. I like a clean windscreen when its raining.

Never had a problem with Bosch. Tried Halfords once, never again.

My blades are just about ready to be changed. I was going to get the Vx ones though - hadn't thought of anything else!  :-/
