Get the Contis!

What you going to do with the runflats?

I was going to replace them, keep them and put them back on when I come to sell.

Prob selling next couple of months though so don't think i'll bother now. They are really crap tyres though

Probably going to hide them away in the deepest corner of my garage with the old stereo and speakers from the corsa, the standard suspension from the nova, and the front seats from my rover..........all of which i was going to put back on when i sold lol

As usual with yoko's they wear quicker then most other's but u'll find they are such a managable tyre, very grippy, but on and passed their limit very managable!

No, 5 year plan would not have Falkens anywhere near it.
