    I guess it would be wrong to put in a plug for an American tire distributor.....

    Since I don't want to puncture anyone's feelings, I'll just spare you my inane comments.

    Things patched up?

    I think it would be ok as long as it's a balanced discussion.

    Well, if nothing else, this tread has vulcanized our attention on the need for new rubber.

    10% is hardly going to "blow-out" the competition in this shameless business "plug", it just makes me "cross-plying" his offer in several sections of the forum.
    Besides £350 for a Tyre that was £60 only a few years ago is really taking the "Hissssss"

    Why lug out that old history?

    I'm thinking I need to 'jack this thread and change the alignment before we end up in the ditch and need a toe-in.

    We need to concentrate on keeping the pressure on the vendors so as to gauge their prices.

    Briefly back on topic.

    It's a good price, better than what is available domestically, even without the discount.

    ***** all you want, but these are short run tires that are pricey to make and pricey to buy. And since all your cars are in the $200K range and UP UP UP, that makes a set of four about a 1% investment, right?

    So . . .

    Open your wallets, clear out the moths and pop a few quid for a correct set of tyres. :D

    What part of this did you guys miss?

    And, if I still owned my Dino, I'd be ordering those tires RIGHT NOW, as the ones on my Dino would be about 7 or 8 years old and past their prime. :D

    Oh, because all the other posts in this tread are on topic and about Dinos? Or is that Dynos?

    Yup, I know you see what I did there. :D
