Hopefully the tyre choice of DAVANTI isn't after seeing the pick-and-mix assortment that came on my tractor B7 - definitely cannot recommend!!!!!!! :drink:

A few weeks after ADI, tyre fitters gave me a strange look when I was throwing away a 12 month old tyre with around 6mm of tread! :smile_smoking:

Nice. But how long till you start modifying it? And what's the first mod? You probably have 10 sets of wheels for it already.

Errm

New wheels arrive tomorrow

Getting lowered on Monday...

Wifey dearest wants it wrapped in satin dark grey. I did a photochop in gloss dark grey which I really like but she’s not having it!

Well spotted!

The tyres were the only disappointment about the car - but in a way worked in my favour. I was always going to change for 19s so crap tyres just gave me reason to get some money knocked off the price....wasn’t much else I could pick on!
