yeh thats worked, looks great!


I quite like the hankook rt03 (i think) in the same size 215/75/15 bout 20 odd quid cheaper per tyre but were out of stock at the time.

In the wet, a little bit more twitchy but not that bad to be honest. certainly not terrible. (on my tyres any way lol) cant say for other types.

lol Thanks very much ! - great as far as 'stock' is concerned. :P

For the while im making cheap mods.. typical teenager stuff. stickers, exhaust tip, stereo etc. got a fire extinguisher in there.. just in case! Also i'm planning on painting the rims black and putting some large(ish) spotlights inbetween the headlights. but all in good time. i've not even passed my test yet!

unfortunatley, when i bought the car.. they'd put brand new tyres on there.. so no excuse to change them JUST yet, but when i do.. i'll definitley spend the extra quid.

doesnt look bad for a tip :-)

Mite aswell stick with those tyres if theres loads of life in them and they will be better for a new driver!
