on the subject of budget tyres my astra diesel which i use for work was fitted with sunew tyres, got a puncture the other day and went to get it fixed, only to find that both the fronts were cracked all round the sidewalls inside and out, particularly shocking as these have only been on the car since april,if any one else has these tyres i would get them checked as the state they were in they could have blown out, very dangerous imo
