what have you done to your car today ?

Yeah. I've just come to the conclusion that life's too short

At least with my new tyres, when the fronts lose toi much tread. I can just buy 2, and put the rears on the front. Which I presume you have done

I tend to find that when the fronts wear down the rears are still good, so I replace the fronts at one stage then when they need replaced again that’s when I do all 4. Worked like this the past four times

The problem with that is that you're always driving with a period of uneven treads. And you have to make twice as many visits to the tyre shop.

It's easier to just buy 4 every time and chuck the half worn ones away.

I probably get through 4 or 5 sets of fronts for every set of rears. As long as the tread is the same on the each axle i'm cool with it. Never had an issue and at £130 a tyre it soon adds up.

What tyres does everyone use? I'm wanting all weather ones, and am wanting to know if anyone has any idea which would be best. If not what are best for the winter and the summer. And I'll buy another set of wheels for each set of tyres. I'm also trying to find some decent seat covers

Goodyear F1 AS6 never thought they would be better than the last AS2 i had, worth checking national tyres for deals as they are owned by Halfords as thats wear i got mine replaced

I feel your pain. I still have £400 on the credit card from January. Had 4x Michelin PS5s fitted, but got £70 off and a £50 Amazon voucher.

This was at ATS (owned by Michelin). Normally I hate chains, but amazingly the slow loss of air I used to get on the rear left has been solved. I've been living with it for 5 years and had umpteen places refit various tyres on that corner with no success. ATS seem to use proper white tyre paste which has finally sealed it (took a lot of scrubbing to get it off the alloys).

Michelin Tigre is the stuff going off a Google search.

normally the air loss is inner wheel rim rust that the fitter has not removed before adding paste .. as ive had that a few times
