Honest.

Welcome back.


Funny you should say that, while re-installing the roll bar on the weekend I discovered the carpet underlay on the passengers side has a similar consistency and bouquet to the River Ankh.

Thank you sir and just to prove my new found commitment, I ordered a new set of tyres for the car this morning. I've gone for Toyo Proxes T1R's again with 195/50/15's on the front and 205/50/15's on the back not a bad price either $640.00AUD balanced and fitted with an alignment thrown in.

:woohoo:

We've been very impressed with the Toyos , fitted more than 2 years ago. Good all round performance.

Fairly good price you got too. The alignment is a bonus. 4 wheel? If so that's around 100 upside- down dollars worth, if front only, still 50 bucks, based on UK prices. Round our way at least, regional prices vary a bit.

To prevent another outbreak of Tyre Wars, I have to say that other tyres are available for MG's. :whistle:

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

I did look at other options including Pirelli and Falken and to be honest the T1R's were not my first choice but they seem to be best at what I use the car for i.e. a mix of daily driving and club level motorsport.
