Default Thanks to Barry @ Elite Rainham

Sorted me out on a really good deal on four tyres today

Took the time to discuss the different types in my price range and the pros and cons.....

Ended up with some Vredestein's AWESOME

Driving home at a reasonable pace in torrential rain and felt like they were sticking like glue!

i see your car down there just as i was leaving Ian....

they fitted a nice set or Verdsteins to the back of my everyday run around and also sorted my geometry out. Although i have maxed out the camber adjustment on the rear wheel...
still as long as it stops me aqua plaining @70 on the motor way i'll be very happy!

Have to say that i am very impressed so far.. car feels totally different and i think i can get some confidence pushing in both wet and dry now...
well maybe not the wet, till i change the fronts too, but that will have to wait till i can spare another organ!
