Hi, I'm GregR, you may remember me from such threads as, "S2 Suspension - £50"; and "c/r box for £150."...

However, I aplashed the 400-odd notes on Advans when my tyres were spent last November. I weighed up the pros and cons of ending up in a field by mixing and matching my tyres and thought it was the cheaper option. Not worth scrimping on them, they're the only thing that translates input to the road - not worth getting that wrong IMO

OK, OK!!

As you probably worked out from the question I knew the answer. I just object to the idea of spending as much on a set of tyres as I have previously done on a car.

As "lets build myself a Lotus out of scrap man" other wise known as GregR will tell you, people in our line of work have to watch the pennies.

Thanks all.

Tom,
I have a spare set of wheels if you want to try out tyres.
