Do the tyres on your car say something about you or its history?
Carpy25:
Matched pairs on the same axle and premium makes :happy2:
would you buy a Porsche on budget tyres :stupid:

I always have the same premium tyres across each axle. 👍

Mine had 4 new tyres and brakes all round on it when I bought it. F1 Assymetric 2s and VAG discs/pads. Definitely a sign of previous owner loving because you don't spend that kind of money just to shift a car on.
Thrifty people will thrift. Just don't go out for a pint with them!
Buyers of my old cars are even luckier :love: I replace bonnet and tailgate struts just because the existing ones look grubby, but work fine :grin:

I've walked away from dozens of 'mint' cars that had ditchfinders. Exactly for the reasons noted above.
Mine had 4 Kumho Ecsta on it when I went to view it. I deemed them a decent mid range tyre, so gave the rest of the car a good look and drive, and two and a half years on I'm happy with my judgement.
It now has Michelin PS4 on the front, and Super Sports on the back. Will be PS4 all round once the rears finally wear!

Fully agree - Tyres are the one 'branded part' that are easy to distinguish and say a lot about how the car has been cared for. Not always as easy to spot budget service or replacement parts like an ECP cheapie CV joint, or some random waterpump and cambelt kit for example.
Anyone else get annoyed when people say "tyres are tyres" or "all tyres are the same" :mad: :fighting: Or worse... Those that buy Uniroyal Rainsport 3's because they have reasonable traction and quite simply, they are cheap..... but yet they think they are the best tyre ever :rolleye:
Mine has 4 matching Michelin PS4 and I have another 4 in stock in my shed ready for when these wear out :booty: :signLOL:
