seems a lot for a car thats barely used unless you rag it around on the evenings. hence the scuffed wheels and dodgy paintwork and cheap tyres?
13k ono and accept 11k.

theyre hardly expensive at 100 quid. a lot of people will only know vredestein for being shite likethey were. its not lke you can say has pirelli, goodyear or michelin on is it? people that dont know things like that may be put off by a budget brand name.

No problem. There weren't any spelling mistakes, just needed a few capitals adding here and there

Looks good Ben, kept it simple, this was my advert:

And it sold within 2 days so I must have done something right lol.

Cheap tyres?
They are good value yes, but they are the dogs bollocks. I've got a set on the front of my VXR and they are much better than the standard issue conti's. Also know alot of VXR/Scooby owners who run them too.
Great tyre.
