Failed MOT
« on: 18 January 2011, 16:58:34 »
Will go back for retest soon.

3 tyres on verge and literally just under the 1.6mm and width rules.

That is a few hundred as I am dropping a complete set on.

Give Jeffries Tyres in Bromsgrove a call, they are usually pretty competitive on price.  :y

Already ordered some from Crown Tyres who will price match the internet sites.

I am too scared to buy cheap tyres after a few bad experiences.

2.0CD which would not stop wheel spinning a cheapy rear.

3.0 MV6 which broke away suddenly with a budget tyre.

Sticking to know but unfortunately expensive brands.

I still have my big over draft facility :y :y
