Unhappy Do I Need New Tyres
I have original Bridgestones on my MY03 WRX done 14,500 miles. They are wearing on the outside see pic

I know this is a commone problem Do you reckon its time for a change?
Im thinking of the Goodyear F1 £103 fitted on black circles.
Or does any one know any cheaper around the west midlands?

I have the exact same wear and looking to replace my front 2 with Goodyear Eagle F1 215/40/17's, perhaps we should start a group buy?

There's a place in Wrexham that post, they had 225/40/18's for £95 delivered so the 17" wheels would be cheaper again

Best price for 18" F1s I found was mytyres - £114 delivered, so £95 is very good.
