New alloy update
Top Cat:
I believe the PS2's last a lot longer as well so it is all relative. :chicken:
Hurdy:
Conti's don't seem to last too long (well on my car :scared:)
Guy at the place I got the wheels and tyres from rates the Vredestein Ultracs very highly and sell more of them on sports hatches than any other tyre at the moment.
I must say they are loads better than the Conti 2's and 3's for dry and wet grip. Wear cannot comment on yet, but again they are about 10-20% cheaper than most of the other equivalents and so if they wear a little quicker you don't lose too much.
Coming back over the Snake in the pouring rain really showed what they can do and at high speed (but legal :wink:) whilst overtaking and having a laugh at a guy trying to keep up with me in an Astra VXR (no chance bud!) they really did make the car feel safe and planted.....oh and I lost him after two corners :innocent:
SteveP:
Another vote for the Michelin's from me too (I have the Pilot Exalto 2's).
90% of my mileage is motorway but I still have over 3mm thread left after 20K miles :smiley:
