My ED30 has eaten a pair of 452s in 6months!
« on: February 21, 2011, 02:28:31 pm »
I knew these tyres were bad news!  :mad:

Not only to they have about as much grip as pornstars front bum... they have gone massively out of shape on the inside edge. The tyres have been on 6 months and done just under 10K miles.

Took my car to Wheels in Motion in Chesham to get the balancing sorted out, and the tech showed my the wheel spinning on the machine. Not only were both wheels about 70g out of balance but both (left more than the right) have massive deviation on the inside edge. The balancing has helped but the vibration is still there at XX MPH

They want 140 for contis sc2 and 150 for michelins ps3.... EACH!

Exactly!  :happy2:

They fit for @16 a corner so it would be a touch over £230, as opposed to 300!  :scared:
