Don't they ruin the ride though? I went in a mate's 1-series [1] the
other day, and the ride quality weren't too good - I understood it was
down to the run-flats.

Well these are 18 inch rims and steel springs, none of this active
suspenders bollocks. Ride quality is in the Danni Minogue quadrant.

On another note, is there such a thing as a nice Soave? I've not found
one, they all seem a bit flavourless to me. Went to a tasting of some
fantastic Barolo and Barbarescos last night if you're into red - by
Bruno Giacosa. Way out of my price range though at £585 for 6 =8-0.

Straight from Sainsbury's, was recommended. Serve cold.
I have a ?120 bottle of 2000 Vega Sicilia awaiting a suitable occasion.
Sublime it is though you wouldn't buy it at that price for yourself.

Well, I must admit I am!
I'm not the svelte like little fella I was 30+ years ago ;o)

It's worth bearing in mind you can't fit four tyres on a performance car
for £120. Compare like for like and the ITYF prices are not much
different.

 

You can now, yes. You couldn't then.

 

Adrienne M Bonwick says...

Me, will pop in tomorrow or Sunday if you're about.

 

Greybeard says...

I am

 

will be around most of both i think. but avoid 4-6 on sunday if you
don't want to see me ranting at the TV.

Will Everton be losing again?

 

the cont known as Lozzo says...

I thought she supported the other ones.

 

AOL to that... My Supra was £140 per tyre for sticky stuff if I bought all 4
at the same time. Makes the BT014s seem good value really.

 

the cont known as Champ says...

When I had the Primera it cost £130 for four tyres from Costco(1)

The Golf cost me SITRO £270 for four new tyres (2)



(1) They were allegedly, a brand owned by Michelin
(2) Alledgedly a performance car

 

Even budget tyres for the van come in at £35 each.

 

most likely.

<fx: raises pint of Carlsberg>

 

80 for all four corners, fitted, to mine

 

I did manage to get a new tyre for a Micra last year for £17 and once
scored 3 tyres for a Peugeot 305 for £35 because they were some odd
size that fitted nothing else. OTOH £200 for both for the bike on
Monday.

 

Not far off.
