Yeah id like to know where i can get some to tyres too. (track day tyres)

Defo wouldn't go for budget tyres mate... would ruin the drive of the whole car, specially at this time of year.

Got Dunlop Sport Maxx 8000 (think thats the name) on my old dears 330d and its really impressive, actually more grip in wet conditions than the previous Goodyear Eagle F1's and I've been a massive fan of the F1s for years.

Cheers,
