Goodyear Eagle Ventures all around... previous balancing was done by a Vauxhall dealer!  :-X

oh that explains it then,  virtually all the ventures were all sold off extremely cheap cos they lasted for ages but had very little feel and grip people were complaining of the car being "nervous" or twitchy when they were fitted,  :y I

Apparently discontinued now, i don't find them that bad!

I can still chuck it into corners, holds well. Until my hand is forced, the Goodyears stay on!

I get 30K + out of my tyres, you get 8k  ;)

Ok you may get to your destination 10 mins faster, but my wallet is fatter!  ;D

Thus more beer money!

My rears are nearly out 15,000 miles, Michelins and they are more or less flat but I wondered why I was able to get the rear out on a local roundabout when I had a numpty following too closely
