I ought to go and see how my F1's have worn since August..

Think i will give the PS2's a whirl when i come to change the merc's tyres next time round if they last that long.

Olly, the thread title says he's already ordered, too late to post links to chaper sources now

He can cancel

[TW]Fox · 23 Apr 2008 at 17:17

Good job I did, what the hell is this! Looks like a stone? Can I just pull it out?

Tom|Nbk · 23 Apr 2008 at 17:18

Seeing as you couldn't do the PC install right by skimping on expensive parts why are you burning nearly £800 on tyres. You must have lost the plot :eek:

OllyM · 23 Apr 2008 at 17:18

Looks like a nail head to me...

Jez · 23 Apr 2008 at 17:20

Hard to tell what it is, could easily be a nail :/

Tom|Nbk · 23 Apr 2008 at 17:21

Looks like a nail tbh.

[TW]Fox · 23 Apr 2008 at 17:21

Just had a better look with a pair of tweezers. It's a stone but it's stuck fast

Tom|Nbk · 23 Apr 2008 at 17:22

Never known a stone to impale a tyre like that. Weird indeed.

You wouldn't have thought a stone would have got lodged like that, it looks like they are made of Blu Tac.

Lord don't say that, I bought 4 about 1-2month ago

Just think how grippy blue-tac is

Beyond me. Just talking about this on MSN. He says he must have about 6-7mm on after 4k miles which is absoloutely absurd since mine have that amount left after 1000 miles :eek:

Guess I should stop hurling it around roundabouts

I didnt think Eagle F1's left the factory with that many mm's of tread.

That is an Eagle F1 after driving home from the tyre shop.

They do with about 7mm I believe?

On a RWD drive car they should last longer as the fronts will be doing the steering. He could also drive like a granny.......

[TW]Fox · 23 Apr 2008 at 17:44

24.7mpg at the moment. Which I thought was impressive as it's all round town.
