Just been in ATS to get 2 new tyres fitted at £150 a tyre, thought it was steep, then a guy in an E46 M3 pulled up, he had a hole in his middle section, small one, cause by a stone or something, new section = £736.

I thought I was hard done by with my tyres

I wouldn't bother getting a new standard part for that much tbh

On another note, £65 tyres are seeming quite cheap now

i was chatting to a guy one day, he was driving a brand new rangerover sport and was driving along the road, stopped and the guy behind him hit the back right on the exhaust tip and bent it slightly and the guy thought nothing of it till it started to rattle and blow and when he took it back it was just under £2k

Did 4 hankooks for the Mercedes garage today.

Brabus wheels

2 x 325/25x20
2 x 295/30x20

Just over a grands worth of tyres, and hankook is a budget(ish) make,

225/40/18 - They are the new tread pattern Michelin Pilots - The rears are 255/35/18 though but luckily I havent had to replace them as yet, but if I keep this habit up of drifting the rear they wont last long.
