and put the force 10s up against the car and all i can say is im in love



i want them so bad

as i want the 195 tyre though its gonna be pricey, £900 with the pirellis p neros or £795 with th hancooks!

they said they would give me £150ish back when the feature was in print and they could see there name in it and a couple of stickers on the car!

Is anybody running hancook tyres

he siad its there new tyre out and that it was a good tyre but am i being snobbish in thinking that they are cheapos

also anybody know anybody that is likely to do me a deal on them

Fear, have you tried an online tyre supplier to see if they can better the prices with a better quality name?

Fear, try rochford tyres, they do good wheel and tyre packages and are very helpful.

yeh mytyre are the cheapest so far!

motor world want £533.96 for just the wheels on their own so with the mytyre prices thats still £818 and id have to pay for fitting so the offer of £795 is good at the mo and then if i get the £150 back that would be better, but id still prefer the deal now!
