Same tyres on my car. I can confirm that, yes, they are round.

They dont cope well with any sort of power though

As far as budget are concerned, very good in the dry but other than that forget it

What size are yours?

You have triangles on the saab?

Borden · 27 May 2010 at 19:22

I drive a Corsa C (Dad owns, I get insured on it) like yours and I don't think it's bad at all. I think they look a lot better at stock than most other super minis.

However...that looks god awful.

You'd do well to spend less money on chavvy tat and more on the important few contact points that keep your car on the road.

Never got around to changing them and there's no point now!

Maybe the guy who came to view it saw the Triangles......

mrk · 27 May 2010 at 19:30

What's with the old skool M3 mirrors?

iaind · 27 May 2010 at 19:31

Maybe that's why he kicked them

They're pretty crap but they're not linglong dangerous - they do stop quite well, they're just noisy and dont give a great deal of traction. Unfortunately it's pretty difficult justifying £400 on new tyres for a car I'm getting rid of

[TW]Fox · 27 May 2010 at 19:33

Wow no wonder - if I went to view a premium car and fond it shod with Triangles I'd kick them, make my excuses and leave as well, perhaps taking the time to make you a derisory offer a few days later just incase you were daft enough to accept it, giving I'd be silly not to allow for a large repair budget incase I found any more of the previous owners bodges :eek:

M3 Mirrors?

Hagus mirrors, standard Vauxhall fit...heated too

Hmm fair point, I didn't see him look closely enough to notice but he might have done before ringing the door bell.

In fairness, the tyres were put on by the dealer, the car's been extremely well looked after but it's a good point that a potential buyer wont notice that.

Bearing in mind a full set of decent tyres takes my price down towards the prices dealers have been offering me, do you not think it's better just to bear with them? Not everyone is that observant (or bothered)...

I totally agree its pointless replacing them but it explains the guy taking one look and leaving!
