  4. Mytyres Nokian WR 215/45 R17 Back in stock!
  5. MY03 WRX original tyre size is definitely 215 45 17 !
  6. Is the original size not 215 45 17 on yout WRX? Mytyres have Nokian WR's in this size £98.50 each though! As I said - I bought 4 16 rims off e-bay for £50 (ok a bit tatty) and put 205 55 16 Nokians on at £55 each. So under £300 including fitting, and no hassle after the winter - Just put original wheels back on. Also saves your good wheels from winter salt and chemicals.
  7. Canadian Driver Tyres Online Last year thread NOKIAN WR - I can definitely recommend these tyres! - Bought some last year. They were superb in the snow. - Effortless on gradients and kept their line on corners (obviously going a bit slower than usual!). I remember a particular occasion in the snow on the A696 (just after Otterburn going south). A gradual climb through some tight bends, onto a straight slight climb, before a tight left and a fairly steep long climb. - Heading up to Ottercops Moss. At the bottom of the last climb I got held up behind a struggling 2 wheel (front) drive vehicle which was wheelspinning like f**k, albeit making slow steady progress. I pulled out from behind it, put the foot down and cruised effortlessly up the hill. Very little wheelspin (if any) and went exactly where it was pointed. These tyres are also very good on wet greasy roads (once scrubbed a little), and are fine in the dry. Also very good wear so far. I bought a cheap set of 16 alloys on e-bay and put 205 55 16's on, to make the overall circumference as close as possible to the original 215 45 17's. - Slightly narrower (better bite in snow) and cheaper - (only about £56 from Mytyres). The difference between these Nokian WR tyres and the Bridgestone RE 050's (original summer tyres) I had on the year before, is vast. I struggled the year before in the snow. Check what the links above say, and decide for yourself. Cheers,
  8. Bearing in mind winter is fast approaching! and by all accounts it's going to be a bad one. - All the tyres mentioned are summer tyres or so-called "all-year" tyres. Ever thought about getting a set of winter tyres? I have a set of Nokian WR's which I used last winter. They were superb in the snow and surprisingly good on wet and greasy roads (once they were scrubbed a bit). Make the most of your 4 wheel drive. - It's no good when you don't have traction! I had Bridgestone RE 050's on the previous winter, and they were hopeless in the snow. The Nokians are going back on at the first sign of a snow flake! I can highly recommend them!
  9. Says on the packet "No Purchase Necessary". Anytime you pass a Shell station just pop in and ask for a packet!
  10. I'm very interested too! Why don't you switch on your private messaging, set a deadline, and sell to the highest bidder?
  11. Try Tam Brown at McConechy's (01324) 621586 - Grangemouth Road - opposite Falkirk Tech. He's usually good for my Scooby's!
  12. Been thinking about doing it myself. I think these examples seen at knockhill, look superb. Compliments to the owner.
  13. Quite right Dougster. I'm going oot in Falkirk too! Have a good one.
  14. I take it this ain't happening tomorrow?
  15. I can make it on 2nd October.
  16. Hi Guys. I'll head to Bowtrees Farm tomorrow, for 8.00 anyway. Maybe leave there about 8.15. If anyone else is there, fair enough. If not I'll hopefully see some of you at KH. Cheers
  17. Hey Nelsdir, I'll be spectating too, and maybe a few passenger laps. Do you want to meet up? I think Derek (CAZ 1562) is arranging to meet up with some of the Ayrshire and Glasgow lads too. He'll be posting where and when soon I think. Cheers,
  18. Derek Whats the where and when's for Saturday morning?
  19. Hi Derek Yeah I'd be up for that. Quite busy end July, but can make 20,22,23,24,27,29. I was going to head to Knockhill anyway, on 26th, so maybe we could meet that morning anyway. Cheers
