My goodyears are the DON!

Although the price of them is a little higher than normal tyres @ £119 each, you'll notice the difference it handling instantly

ah - I'm guessing because it's cheaper to get 195/15 tyres, than say 205/17" tyres for chris p ...

what do you do about fitting them though if you buy from mytyres? won't tyre fitting places be pissed off if you ask them to fit it for you, if you haven't bought them through them?

I had rain sports on my old 15's. I had them for about 15 months. The car wasnt lowered but they still seemed to wear down very quickly on the front
