Ordered and paid for now. In no rush, get more life out of the Runflat's, not doing any real milage at the moment anyway. 8)

    You should not be running different tyre types on each azle i.e. RFT and NRFT mixed. When I had my 23i i bought NRF MPS4S for the rear, took them to 6 diffferent fitting centres, all refused to fit them unless I had NRF for the front as well! If I remember correctly it was not actually illegal but an ill advised choice that none of the fitting centres would get involved with.
    Who fitted these for you??

    Errr @mcbutler Michilens fitted to the back.
    Wanted and asked for all 4 corners, they could not supply.
    Still passed the MOT. Front's are ordered and still legal.

    A few quick runs to settle them in and :thumbsup:

    One of the biggest and best differences I find is there’s very little difference in handling between the wet and dry and trust me I get plenty of opportunities in Argyll to find that out :driving:
