Went out to my car and found the rear passenger tyre was flat, tried to pump it up but as soon as it got to 25psi all I could hear was air blowing out, quickly took the wheel off and an a hole in the inner side wall about an inche long.

new tyre time I guess ffs, gonna try to find some goodyear f1s cheap as I need 2 front ones at the same time, my dunlop rts have lasted less then 10k lol

camskill have f1s for £90 atm

I'm after new tyres too at the moment. Iv always had continsports and tempted to try something els as I can't afford 250 for a pair of them with my cambelt service coming up so soon :(

I have contis in the past mate, personally I don't rate them, I found the dunlop rt really good, gonna try the f1s as a lot of people rate them on here.

I need new tyres too lads, £90 sounds pretty good, are goodyear f1's the ones to go for then for a mk2 cupra?

I was originally just gonna keep the bridgestones on and replace them, but if others are recommended?
