Wow, Cheap Tyres on Skinny Rims and more Power than Tony Abbott at the G20...

You're either going to have a whole lot of fun, or die, or both.

[Birds]

On a semi-related note... you know you go to a tyre shop too often when they've got your car for several hours tracking down a puncture to repair and checking the rest of the rim in their tank to make sure there's no other leaks... Then you get them to swap the lock nuts on the rims to the standard nuts you supplied but they misread the work sheet and only did 4 nuts from each wheel... so the manager does it himself in the hot sun by hand.

Then he says "Oh don't even worry about it, no charge"

/win

So...after many hours they finally did what you originally asked them to?

Not sure if oxymoron

lol gonna head to thewheeldeal on the way home and get something there those maxxis MA-Z1s are $205, can get some fresh Achilles for $115 review dont look so bad:

At least till I get some decent width rims on again

Maybe I'll schedule in the next appointment while I get them changed over

Keep it in perspective though, all those reviews are written by people who spend $115 on performance tyres

[UNR33L]

LOL I'm not expecting much from $115 tyres

It's purely so there's something legal on there and not on the wires, if I was to have a stack in the wet currently fat chance of insurance covering it

The fact I only have a 8" stock rim don't think it'll matter what I have on there anyway, easy to loose traction regardless

I said they had the car for that long, not I was sitting there waiting that long... Key takeaway point was, it was free and now the emo is no longer limping along with low pressures in the mornings.

Just a moron...

What fat rimz are you thinking of Leigh? They're 5x114.3 yeah? Can put something jdm tite on there to piss off the purists from both camps?

[emts]

[Down_Shift]

Time for an afternoon nap, someone tuck me in?

[emts]

Actually sorry I had the 123s their racing tyre not a street one. And still over powered them easily

Yeah 5x114.3 i'd love some jdm ones but problem is 19 or 20 inch decent size jdm rims cost an absolute fortune.

Would love some meisters or something similar if I were to find them though.

Dam these are just too low offset and would scrub a fair bit

And these rears are perfect, but fronts would look a bit aids.. 15mm in than my last fronts maybe not that bad..

30.

[Mohsen]

dw gonna boost them to 42psi's

[Count Grantleyish]

needs to be said.

we need to improve our driving test.

and stop parents teaching kids/getting hours in.

make mandatory lessons with a registered instructor law.

too many times i have seen learners sat in the right hand lane for 5km and they are not turning. etc etc etc.

the state of driving in this country is terrible.

im not saying the basic driving skill, im saying the ability to drive to the rules and conditions of the road.

tldr?

your a shit kent driver mate.

I wouldn't trust 'professional' instructors, I've seen them teaching learners dodgy shit. Like lane hogging, driving below the limit (don't care if it's 'safe' but it cause more trouble than its worth).

[Count Grantleyish]

dw gonna boost them to 42psi's

Nah, chuck it in oven before putting them on and drive it

[Mohsen]
