Cool

Have 4 for sale, 2 are worn below legal limit, 1 is 1-2mm legal, and other is 4mm legal. Kept them as I though they would be great if I ever went on a track day, never did one and have since sold the Scooby. ;o( Need the space in my garage! I am in Milton Keynes.

Hi chris how you doing man. The car is great, already worn out the outer tread on the front two tryes (too many hard corners I thinks)

Didn't get another scooby then.. Hows the new business venture?

Doing OK! Glad the car is going well! Yes, I had the same problem with this set of tyres, but that is the problem with the Scooby, I never seemed to be able to casually drive around a corner!! I do miss it though, would love to get another but still need to sort out the finances 1st. Business is going OK, actually got paid recently, which is the first time since October. Are you looking after the car? Hope so. Does your wife like it?
I must abdmit that my Girlfriends Saxo 1.1 does not quite have the same performance, though I have noticed a small difference in fuel economy!
In 2 minds about selling the tyres which is why I didn't give them to you with the car, I still am holding out hope that I will win the lottery or at least get enough cash to be able to have another then they would bve useful. But I am trying to clear out the garage to get an old beetle I have into it. Head says sell them, heart says keep them!!
Cheers,
Chirs

I'm looking after the car but the wife still hates it. Just out of curiosity when did you get the tyres for the car, just want to know how long they will last for. The back tyres are fine and still have a lot of life in them.

Can't remember when I got them, sorry. Seem to think it was at about 9,500 miles. and about June last year ish, but that is just a guess!! Have you been rotating the tyres regularly? Ie swopping fronts with Backs? Have you thought about getting 4 wheel alignment done? I know that after being driven around the land of Round abouts, they do say that the tracking needs regular adjustment. I have photos of the old tyres and 2 are reasonably shouldered, but have worn well across the rest of the tyre.
Hope this helps,
Chris
