They do look lovely. I guess with standard offset wheels you are asking for trouble.  :surprised:

Yeah I've had them ages.  Brackets and lines fitted perfectly as always  :happy2:

Just got the stock pads in for now.  Have you got any db9/ttrs pads kicking about?

very nice indeed Alex

Great tyres for the money.  Nice stiff sidewall, sticky enough for fast road and better than most in the wet.  Been using them for two years now.

Better off with DB9 pads really, the TTRS ones are the same as the EVO only about 12mm new including backing plate you can get the chunky pads jn these calipers

Nothing knocking about tat the moment mate, but could chuck some M1144's in at reasonable money
