I asked if they had any left so I could buy them cost and hawk them on to you lot at vast prices, but none available now.
So expect them to go in 50 and 55.

One of my customers are Michelin development and sports tyres dealers. They've spoken to the top guys in Michelin and yes PE2s are disappearing in pretty much every small size, in fact Michelin are killing off most of their sports small tyre range (thats the description in the email from them). No idea why! I asked if they had any left so I could buy them cost and hawk them on to you lot at vast prices, but none available now. So expect them to go in 50 and 55. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

For everyday driving in this country what you want is Uniroyal Rainsports. Having said that, I've not *actually* had a problem with R888's in the wet, although I've not pushed them to the limit of breaking traction but they seemed ok. An expensive all year round tyre though none the less. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

So does anyone have any experience with PS3s? (leave the Playstation jokes out Elliot )I'm looking to get some new tyres for my 17" Turinis, and was set on PS2s, but can't find them for sale anywhere, likely for the above reasons....... ________________________________________ '97 Black Dturbo 110,000miles: SOLD'99 Ph3 Diablo Gti6 108k RIP '93 106 1.5n/a d: daily hack YAAAAAWN '00 Ph3 Astor GTi6 117k |
