Na. I like my tyres safe, none of this VW scene stretch stuff.

Plus the more rubber on the road the more power I can get down with the 1.8

Oh well, they're still not to my taste but each to their own.

Have you any plans on upping the power or are you sticking with the 1.0 for insurance reasons?

I might do something engine wise but not until I get full time employment. But by then this will become my second car so I won't need to rely on it like I do currently.

Plus 500quid for my insurance currently is nice

My mate pointed out last night i had a huge chunk missing out my sidewall, dont think its terminal as its mainly just the rim protector.

but it gave me the reason to change into winter mode

said tyre chunk



awww tiny brakes lol



quite clean discs, will be needing brake pads soon i think.



Painted the wheels up then got them stuck back on.



needed two of the tyres changing so while i was there i decided to get smaller profiles for the front, 65s instead of 70s, makes it look a little better i think personally.
