Like Mr Manchester said, get it spun up first to make sure they aren't buckled, otherwise it'll be for nothing. O/T in Maccy D's is required me thinks

They work out £89.37 each inc vat mate. It makes you when you see the cost price on the screen of £67 each (what ford pay for them). People pay way over £500 a set of 4 without tyres for these!
