Normally I do test drive but didn't the ST.

I'd sat in one but not driven.

Can I ask why you spent so much money on a car without driving it first?

I do 25k - 30k per year and can get 25k out of a set of Pzero Rosso's

Dad has these on his Jag X-Type and they did really well so also on my shortlist at the moment.

Bought it from a Jag dealer miles away from home. Both my local Ford dealers were useless as they wouldn't give me a test drive due to age. Saying that, they only let me drive about 3 miles in the Mondy Titanium X.

I think I'd drive 200 miles to a dealer for a test drive before I bought a car without driving it first. Lucky you got what you paid for it back, could have been a very expensive mistake.

Indeed. However, means I now own a quality car again. :cool:

Just a quick reminder, Costco will fill your tyres with nitrogen for free when getting a new set. If you are using them, you must be a member I guess, so you can pop in anytime and they will fill-up as required.

Apparently can reduce tread wear, better fuel economy etc. I don't really notice tbh, but it's worth a shot.

Cool

Dad has a membership card so can use his. Only trouble is they only stock Michelin.

Another random blow out of an eagle F1 tyre was reported on SXOC recently.... they seem to be prone to it. :eek:

Got Bridgstone Potenzas (RE050a) on the back of the 330 sport. The valve on one of them needed replacing (FOC by etyres) but otherwise they have very good.

Falken FK452's.........

Have them all round on my 330i and now needing replaced after 20k miles which with my driving and roads where i lived is rather impressive to say the least!

Will cost me £105 each for the rears and £60 each for the fronts.

I've been very impressed with them.
