what tyres are on there again?
On the front Vredestein Sessanta ultrac's new ones.£90 each ex vat

Still have the rears to change (Dunlop Sportmax) as ive overspent this month with Car insurance years premium, alloys and 2 tyres has been costly.
Still have 6mm on the rears so will last till new year.
..........bang the ''old'' dunlops on the front & Sessanta on to the back.Should always do this with new rubber anyway.  :happy2:
ED35. Standard factory condition.

How are the tyres?
1st impressions, lighter steering, quieter on the roads, but havent yet put the foot down due to precious load in boot on way back from Garage! :happy2:.

They look a very pretty Tire as tyres go :signLOL: Side wall design and edge protection is adequate.
will post later

Appreciate the feedback mate, I actually would love to see close up pics of the sidewalls and tread lol, cheers Phil :happy2:

The Vinyl Wrap on the B pillars are shiny underneath  :wink:

Black Mirror casings would be a good idea  :drinking:

Anyone want to swop their Black wing mirrors for Red ones :laugh: with optional Carbon wraps?
