Yep. It's like unclosed parentheses. Just a little thing but enough to annoy.

Guys, Im looking for 1 part worn bridgestone potenza (225 45 17) for the front of my car.
Anyone know where i could go that would have a good selection that might have one of these?
I dont mind a spin to get it, within an hour ish of my house would include, galway, limerick, portlaoise, kilkenny etc.

One of my front tyres is shagged, I cant afford to buy 2 new ones and my car doesnt like different tread levels on the front.

Not at all. Just think power and no traction control in a rear wheel drive car is great fun !

Thinking off getting rid of it already tbh. Im finding it hard to like the car.

Think I might even jump ahead of my plans and get my dream machine......

If tyreland in Swords have them in stock, I'll pick it up for you and arrange to meet you in Portlaoise, so I can visit the ma.

Give them a ring and check

Oh forget Chinese, go straight to the fine Indian zeetex's!!

Wife went into tyre garage asked for two front tyres as good as the vredesteins ones that were on it, which the bloke assured her it were in the same bracket.

Yeah they are not, I went back down to fire them off his head he would accept no such responsibility that he said they were good.

I do enjoy the smallest bit of rain as the huge power of the Mazda cannot be put down on the road.

Actually haven't had much issue with them. Just now in the wet. And the difference between the grip front and rear is a big factor. Plenty of rear grip, and ****e all front makes for nasty understeer. Maybe I'll swap 'm :pac:

I'd a weird one today in the gtv, I was driving along on an 80kph road, and the accelerator felt stiff, and unresponsive, any thoughts on this?

I'd have thought if it was going, it would be looser?

What a complete ****head that guy is. You can clearly see him turn his head to check the mirror and then swing for the poor lad that ended up in the tyres. He could have actually killed the guy in the black MX. Red mx driver should be banned from all racing for a long time.

F'in hell, what a bellend that driver was.
