Car has landed in Portbury. Have spoken to finance, should be okay for click and collect on the 18th or thereabouts. Exciting stuff, though made a bit weird by the lockdown bobbins!

Another v105 user here. Pretty much identical to willclarkes experience. I find them much more confidence inspiring than the stock primacys. Even with 225/40/18 the car is still playful, especially in the wet, but they never feel sketchy and are much more progressive when they let go. Dry grip is good but not excessive, it never feels over tyred, the car still holds it momentum and doesn't scrub off too much speed. They wear faster than the practically plastic primacys and aren't as good as Michelin PS4s (from what I've heard) but they seem well suited to this car and ideal for what you are after.

Thanks, that's helpful. I'm pretty sure OEM is 7.7kg now. I did look at EBC but I particularly wanted slots for water dispersal. I must say that I'm very pleased with the braking ability now. It's the Avons that let the side down - they're going next week.

V105s are what you want. 👍

I moved to the v105 because I didn't like how unpredictable the primacy were in the wet and didn't want something too grippy. Yes the v105 are a gripper tyre but it's still plenty playful enough with stock power (and far better in the wet!) [emoji106] would recommend. Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

@Lloyd There were a high number of failures in the US. TGB along with help from RRG Macc heavily revised the recall procedures to prevent what happened in the US happening here. Up you but if you purposefully leave it and it does fail then you will not be covered. Mine was done 27,000 miles ago. No problems.

Finishing touch. I decided I prefer black-and-silver roundels that match my car better than the full colour ones, so I went back to the Portuguese vendor on eBay who makes such excellent metal ones in every size to fit every wheel cap you can imagine.
