Tenmil Socket Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Dropped my car off at the main dealers this morning for a service. Whilst waiting for my lift I browsed the ‘Approved Used’ cars.

warch Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I rather like the sound of Toledo tyres, it reminds me of the 70s and 80s when Spain was considered a bit exotic and aspirational Rockblades on the other hand, the rubber of choice for the sort of bloke who is a bit of a maverick, is his own boss, likes unprotected sex (probably with himself) and prefers a tyre with attitude. Lastly a twofer featuring Firemax and RoTalla. Need I say more? Dyslexic Viking, bunglebus and timolloyd 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I've probably posted this before in this thread - but a lot of the time, these insanely named Chinese death hoops aren't even that much cheaper than a branded tyre!

Don’t you know they’re an old Michelin design made in a factory that also makes decent tyres? Also I’m such a great driver I can anticipate anything , so a 50% longer stopping distance doesn't really concern me. Erebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
