    New tyres for the T-5R

    Had enough of the ditch finders on the front of the car, so just bought a couple of Syron Street Race, I can't believe that they're only £116 a pair at the moment for 205x45x17 with a two day delivery from Germany.

    Just paid £300 for a pair of Vederstiens summer tyres for the V40.. Front is so grippy that the P6000s on the rear make the car slide all over the place.

    Just looking into these SYrons, it appears that they dont do 205 45 17 anymore, only 215's?
    Anyone got a lead on any info for this as they arent available from Germany as Colin did last time.
    cheers

    This is the size I'm using, but on the 850 they do need a little massage on the arches, they should be fine on the 70 series.
