oh no! That's a relatively simple thing for a garage to rectify if you don't have success.

Today I got a new set of Yokohama G015 tyres fitted to replace the old road biased CF1s.

I had no real complaints about the CF1s, but a nail through the side wall accelerated the need for new. The old tyres had started to show signs of cracking in the tread, but just refused to wear out.
After a big Google and with help from the forum I went for G015s, and they appear to be the correct choice for me.

I was concerned about road noise, but they are very quiet. They have actually made the car steering more precise, I did not expect that so bonus result. They feel exceedingly "sticky" compared to the old tyres, but that's probably just down to the age difference. They pick up grit like a donut sticks to sprinkles :laugh:
Time will tell if I suffer any mpg reduction, but all great and very happy.

I big thumbs up to "For Tyres" Bucknall road who got them for a competitive price and even inflated the tyres to a close enough 24 / 28 instead of the normal 34 plus most tyre places do. I heard them talking about the pressure, but offered no hints just to see what they would do. :evil:

I was finally able to go back to cross country tyre pressure today instead of road haulage pressure. So much more comfort and more grip on my tracks too, not scrabbling in 2wd anymore.
