I'd literally just switched from 19" winter wheels on my D4 across to 21" summer wheels with brand new Pirelli pzeros a couple of weeks before everything started to grind to a halt.
The rears (Falcon FK510's) were pretty well used and I needed to either switch to the summer wheels or replace them. . . The car looks a bit sportier now but can't really go anywhere much!
Its also had a stage 1 tune which took it to 540bhp and 800Nm which makes for an even more interesting driving experience! :love:

Very true - mine may only be rated to 155 mph :eek:

I am sure your tyre suppliers are up north? Too far out for me.
