Author	Subject: Winter Tyres on Ebay
monkeyman Seasoned Pro Location: Sunny St Albans Registered: 01 Oct 2008 Posts: 1,955 Status: Offline	Post #1 Just got some part worn winter tyres off ebay and had them fitted yesterday. I got Michelin Alpin PA2's from this Ebay Seller 185/65/15's fit ok, were about £110 delivered and came next day. The car feels much better already, even with the balloon tyre look, glad I got these on before the snow. ________________________________________ Spanner Monkeys Monkey Spanner Forum Search Clicky

Post #2 check the dates on them, one thing I forgot to do even though the Alpins I bought were fine, no cracking etc, one blew out within 25 miles and the other had feck all grip, they were 03 IIRC though the PA3's I got on the front are awesome, they are 09's with 7mm. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com Bring on the Trumpets.

Tyres all looked good before I had them fitted, but I've heard of problems with old stock tyres before. ________________________________________ Spanner Monkeys Monkey Spanner Forum Search Clicky
