hello all.


Just bought a silver 58plate, picking it up at the weekend. excited? me?




well i spose so, yeah!  :jumpmove:


first daft question: the car needs a pair of tyres on the front and the dealer is replacing them like for like with what's on there (ie. starndard michelins) any opinions of them?

Welcome!

What's the spec of this 58' plate?  :smiley:

Regards the tyres, dont know, but if they're Pilot Sports you'll find they're pretty good for general daily use  :happy2:

Welcome.  :happy2: if it has michelin's on, then there i s a good chance they are Exalto's. Not a bad tyre at all and they last forever.  :happy2:

+1. The pilot exalto's aren't too bad but not brilliant. I had wheelspin issues which I didn't get with the Pilot sport 2 tyres.

cool!

looking forward to it now! (well looking forward to getting it at least as i won't be driving for another 3 weeks at least. Broke both wrists in a MTB off a few weeks ago so my fiancee will be the sole pilot for a while!!)
