New tyres all round - ready for summer
Just had four new tyres fitted. Clayed and machine polished the inside of the rim then treated the wheels with Gtechniq C5 wheel armour, then put two layers of wax on top of that, 1 collonite and 1 Sonax pure carnauba wax. Shine like a mirror!
Really loving the Michelin tyre walls!

So the whole set was £935 fitted.
Here they are fitted to the car. Initial run surprised me with some road noise, seemed louder than the winter tyres but we'll see if that settles a bit. Here they are fitted to the car.

That's about what it cost me for all the tyres (summers and winters) on all three of my cars

Lol. Part worn I guess?
Car looks mint by the way. Would you think about putting spacers to poke the wheels out a bit?

Thanks! Yes, considering spacers for sure, not decided on lowering it yet, hence I haven't done it yet.
I remember the days of cheaper tyres 🙂 But then none of them had to be rated for 190mph 😁
