Ive got Dunlop Sport Maxx RTs on mine. Done 25k miles, rears getting close to replacement - likely come MOT in Feb. Picked them due to offering great value for money, and as my university degree dissertation researched reducing car tyre noise I had to go for the quietest ones possible! Price wise, I recall finding fronts for c. £85 each, rears c. £135 each

I like this post. Get a grant for your tyres. Great idea.

Hang on, no it isn't, who pays for the grant? The taxpayer, i.e. me!!!! :o

So, be careful with them as part of the tread is mine. :rofl:

Or any car for that matter, but they seem to manage - and then leave it for days on end unused in my street - why? :evil:


Bitter? Me? What gave you that idea? Just because I'd like to park my Z somewhere near home :headbang:


p.s. roll on residents parking :thumbsup:
