Quite right. Hold your ground, they said they would fit Top tyres so that's what you should expect. Not sure where you are buying, Motorline Gatwick? If so I would suggest you check, double check and triple check all paperwork and the car inside and out before you accept the car. I know others have good comments about them but alas my experience was not the best.

You're right not to accept those, they're taking the piss. A number of years ago I almost bought an S2000 until the Honda dealer replaced the worn out Bridgestones with Ling Longs and couldn't understand why I wasn't jumping for joy. Actually refused to change them, haha.

Good luck!

Sticking to my Gun's Lauren, I think I may have them on the run now & panicking 😄

Ask for Yokohama V105 extra load. Not quite as grippy as the PS4 but a really good fun tyre that is better than the Primacy by miles. I don't blame you for telling him that. Shows how cheap the TDF's were. V105s are £80 inc VAT per corner and likely less than the Primacy tyre or around the same. Your dealer is pretty much charging you full price for the Primacy tyre. Don't give in!

Thank you Let's just say, Ditches and me are very old friends from the past 😄😄

No worries I just want you to enjoy the car and obviously not to end up in the first available ditch. I'm not old enough to have had much experience with crossplys, but my first rear wheel drive car was a 2.3 Firenza with 175 dodgy tyres. Spun it, first time I drove it in the wet! 😂

Lauren Indeed, spent half my driving life on rear wheel drive vehicles (including, good old Crossply's)😉 The STRONG email to the dealer was sent last night, ending with......... "If the new tyres, are not at least Primacy ones" then the deal is off" theres always another car around the corner👍 Thank you😉

Kev that's fair enough, though I'm also concerned that the dealer has not been honest with you and not gone for 'top' tyres but budget ones. The car is particularly sensitive to tyres it seems. I expect you're well used to rear wheel drive so you have that experience which is good. I did some looking into those tyres last night, they won't have Yokohama on them. But all said and done be careful in the wet as that's where you'll really notice it. Enjoy tomorrow.

Lauren I had already stated that they are Yokohama tyres ! Point taken about your views on them, but as I have already said, I don't intend to "Track day" the car or attempt any kind of drifting in it either, I just want a nice looking car that we all have, also they are not charging me one penny & if like you said, they prove to be dangerous, then they will be returned pronto. I have some influence in the road safety area being in the Fire service and some clout to rectify the situation if it does arise. That all being said, I will look at some more reviews on them but to be honest it's about 70% to 30% in thier favour on "Normal" driving. We will see what happens !!!😉😉

I’m considering importing a couple if anyone is interested?
