Think I've decided on getting uniroyal rain sport 3 tyres to replace my Bridgestone potenza's. Will be running them on the front with Goodyear eagle F1s on the rear. £100 fitted for the uniroyals (each) 225/40/18

Good in the wet but really soft and last no time at all in the dry. How come you never stayed with Goodyears mate?

It's difficult to decide really. I'm happy with them but I do too many miles a year and I'm looking at 2 sets of tyres on them. I was thinking with us having so many wet days that the rain sports may be more appropriate.

Unfortunately there's always that trade off between good grip and good wear, it's where abouts in between the two I should go...

Goodyear asymetric 2 on mine really happy with them I do over 25k per year still going strong

 

[Jarre]

25k out of yours? The tread is getting lower on mine but then they have been on the front and have done quite a lot of miles when I think about it!

Well just made myself look a **** at my local seat garage. Wing mirrors not been folding in off the Lock door button hold. 2 nd time back in for it. Mech comes out n says. U have to have the dial on the heated mirror symbol....

I thought that was JUST for the heated mirrors. Opps

That's absolute rubbish. Mines never set on the heat symbol and mine fold in with the key fob. Plus if you leave it on heat symbol don't the heater come on constantly when the ignitions on, causing them to eventually burn out?

Same here. Dealers talking 80110cks.

Yeah, reckon I might have to try it!! Because they do whole cars in plastidip don't they and it doesn't come off! Did you sand the grille chrome off first Matt?

Sorry dude, I wasn't clear.

I only painted the 'S' on mine as mine doesn't have any chrome on the front grill!

Everything with the K1 is inflated

 

[anarchy1515]

Mine is done in Plastidip but the US version as I've found it to be MUCH more durable then the UK stuff which is quite frankly Cr@p!

Is there such thing as gloss black plastidip?

 

[Bignod00]

Haha, including the awesomeness!

Tbh matey, I really don't know. I doubt it tho as its a matte finish!

I thought all plastidip was a matt finish?

 

[Jarre]

Plasti dip is a matte finish but you can buy a separate 'glossifier' to make it have a gloss finish

yes nearly all motorway miles though fronts are around 3mm left rears around 5 they were all put on at the same time just before xmas 2012 so around 14 months

 

[Bdringhill]

I dunno about any of you guys but my mirrors only fold in with the fob when they feel like it.
To the point where I just do it inside the car now and don't bother with it anymore

Always on the heated too..
