Cossie Sean

lease companys are making some silly decisions with the cars these days IMO

I've got a pair on the front of the wifes car, its never driven so well in years, grips well, stops well.

I can now get all 50ish bhp down on the rd, it launches superbly

Sean what makes it worse is the fact this is a company owned vehicle, not leased, so really doesn't make sense,,,,

Cossie Sean

dont get me wrong there not like family killers of years gone by, but the van should have winter tyres, anything below 7degrees and non winters loose their functionality.

marigoldis are excelent budget tyres and would fit them on my own car as a runaround no questions


*edit, i see then there mental, seriousley.

shows what they think of your saftey

RSGARETHW

iTrader: (3)

Slight difference pal, this is a 115 transit, fully loaded, inc 2 pairs of ladders inside and 2 sets of ladders on the roof, so not quite as nimble as your micra

studabear

I know, I was messing. I was serious though, it drives really nice on them.

Were you old tyres illegal? that maybe the reason they fitted maragoni's as they may have only had that size in stock in that make

RSGARETHW

iTrader: (3)

Old tyres had 2mm left, I was sat there when they rang our head office and he said I can for continentals or maraminge's .... Bloke on the other end said " fit the cheapest" case closed...

Go figure... Sean just as I read your family killers sentence I was just joining the m1

I have my sensible head on now -

I think shit tyres are the least of your worries if your reading pf threads whilst on the M1 , Please tell me your a passenger

RSGARETHW

iTrader: (3)

do u really need to ask that

but just incase your not sure, yes i was a passenger

ajamesc

its a transit not a race car who cares lol id put the cheapest money can buy on if it was mine! same as i do on my every day car and never had any probs at all!

Rogeyboy

I like to have decent rubber on my cars... Esp the Mrs's car! Havn't you seen how women drive

ajamesc

my other cars a c36amg always has the cheapest tyres money car buy on it lol never noticed any difference to be honest but then i dont drive it like a twat

RSGARETHW

iTrader: (3)

Do u need to drive like a twat to warrant good tyres, IMO u get what you pay for, it's as simple as that really

ajamesc

Not at all! but driving normally i.e not racing round there is no reason at all why you would out perform the cheapest of tyres! there all tested to a certain standard! i have never came across a situation driving my every day car normally where my cheap tyres where not up to the job or lost grip!

RSGARETHW

iTrader: (3)

That's a much better reply lol and I do agree with the above to a point,I'll be interested to see how they wear compared to the last ones

bishbashbosh

You never know with some people

mark r

i dont put cheap tyres on my car nor the wifes as i do drive that as well.

TIFF

I would of paid the difference if i drove the van permanantly

RSGARETHW

iTrader: (3)

Not a bad idea tiff for next time,

Shings

Exactly what I was thinking.

Ł22 for a tyre I trust.

Thing is though jake u agree with what your saying, but sometimes it comes down to the principle of the matter, I hope these things only last 15,000 miles and then they have to pay out again... Tossers, don't get me wrong they don't seem all that bad just that id never heard of them.
