Yes they are mate.
Reason why i ask is because i let my brother drive it whilst i was on holiday. He quizzed me about the tyres and said it felt a bit oversteery, as if the rear tyres are not doing there job. Ive not noticed it to be honest.

I wouldn't worry about the tyres as they will be aged nicely, but I do think you can try harder.

Note to self... must try harder. (although laura complains enough as it is :signLOL: )
Brakes are fine. After driving a ford fiesta for a week i have come to the conclusion that they are perfectly fine, no need to upgrade them! :happy2:

Continental tyres im told are known to not age well and do start to crack and go hard. Ours did it on our SEAT when we changed them the tyre place said its a known thing with them, other places have said the same when ive asked since.
