    Tyre choices

    I bet you searched using your registration as that will default to the lower load rating only 87 I searched on Tyre size and left load rating blank to allow choice of XL tyres 91 iirc Just checked and prices have gone up a little

    Tyre choices

    Bought our PS4 from Costco, just under £380 for the 4 then there is £50 cash back Strangely they did not add the firing charge online and the store said there was nothing more to pay Reviews of the PS4 send to indicate it was the right the for me. I don't want to have fee a playful rear end, i don't have the skills to do that on the public road So far, even with the freshness an releasing agent it is night and day with the primacy. Can't believe the Wear rating 320 iirc, they seem so grippy Was going to get v105 until i saw this deal and the price difference was minor

  6. My worry with winter tyres is someone behind assuming they have the same grip and going into the back of us We have winter tyres" both our cars, as you say amazing One year I pulled into a pub overflow car park and realised I was the only non 4x4 to make it up the slope

    Unexpected things you like about the GT86

    Not noticed the interior lighting up as mentioned, that said not driven much at night.

    The basic car has all I need (bar reversing camera) Best seats since the recaros in an ST220 mondeo Agree on the wing bulges

    Interesting, feedback there. Is that after trying all 3? Won't be going on a track in my own car but we'll consider cs5 as do drive hard at times Tbh so far running in had no issues with std tyres

    Tyres

    Hankook evo worked well on a mattress polo gti, very different car though Seriously op buy decent tyres, or sell the car. It deserves it, unless of course your like the scary what is my back our front end about to do Our skoda came with Dunlop sport max on the front and sava intensa on the rear. Hated both in fact the sava were dangerous, only time the back end stepped out in 7 years. Switched to ultrac sessanta, Michelin ps2 and now eagle asymmetric 2. Don't go cheap.

    That said tyres, brakes, suspension are the most important parts of any car and should not be scrimped on I will be fitting, either the Yokohama that did week I the evo test, continuing sport contact 5 or most likely eagle f1 asymmetric 2

    Tyres

    The T1R Toyota were good in the day, ran them on a turbo 2000 imprezza huge upgrade on the std for Bridgestone in 2001 Tyres have improved but with the BRZ being a similar weight and bhp world expect them to work okay

    Std BRZ head unit and Pioneer sat nav

    Indeed I had noticed that on the specs. but Subaru are quoting £1200 fitted Just for the head unit. I really don't need integrated nav as I like my dash mounted garmin, so might look at a lower spec model once I confirm the size is the same
