Heres a tip for anyone interested, AVOID these ****ers like the plague! Unfortunately i've had to use them to get a part that needs to be ordered via VIN number and their customer service blasts T-Mobile, 02 and Sky's out of orbit.

Utter inconsiderate, unappologenic swamplife ******** who unless your wearing a suit treat you like **** (i've tested this theory btw).

lol i recall looking at an alfa when i was young and stupid James lol, and they treated me fine lol.
must be the social interaction skills that you developed with sky thats your downfall lol

When ur looking an buying they literally lick the ground you walk on but once something goes wrong, say they cancel your order by mistake it all falls apart for them.

Well the ******* have finally fitted me in for installing a new ECU and reprogramming the car and because they booked me in last monday then rang me to tell me this Monday at 5pm. I now have the leave the car in with them at 8.30am and wait the whole day for them to try and fit it in.

Going to have to spend a whole feckin day in belfast ffs.

Hold off on the rear tyres for a couple of weeks.....NeillK (p1) is setting up on his own in the tyre fitting game...I'm sure he'll do you a good price to get the business....would be nice to support a local guy starting out IMHO

Generally I would support locals as i have with Pro-car etc but my cousin is the owner of a tyre fitters in Carrick and he always looks after well.

I'm using Perilli P6000's all round at the moment but budget and job change dictates something less pricey Possibly Toyo T1R's although i've heard they wear quite quickly.

Cheers for the heads up by the way, although i don't know Neill, i wish his business great success in the future!

Can't speak regarding Alfa's.
But I tried those things on my last STI and I thought they were completly sh1te to be brutally honest.

Jamz3k

Any suggestions then? the alfa's FWD and these are for the rears, need something that copes well in the wet unlike the P6000's.

Why don't you just ask Chris
I've got Goodyear Eagle F1's on the car now - I always seem to go back to these.

Michelin Pilot Sport 2's were also very good on the STI, but they didn't even last 5K miles

I hate Pirelli tyres personally.

Excellent point that i didn't even think of.
