(A lot of winter tyres start with 9mm-10mm of tread rather than 8mm on summer tyres).

Fair enough, thanks for the info

Or earlier BMW X Drive units, especially X3, X1 and early 3-series

That’s so easy to do when it’s not out of your pocket.

I’d also recommend doing this on an Alvis Stalwart (or rather all six).

I think it’s quite easy if it’s out of your pocket also. I had about 30,000 out of my CC and at 4mm I think they have seen their days.

I would do it well before 4mm too

What’s a govt owned car? The ones the police use? Or the ones used for ferrying bojo & co about? Or the landrover the army use?


Most govt depts I know of don’t own cars (in significant numbers) and just hire them from the big hire cos as part of a contract….. EA have a few vans and pick ups………

Fitted today quick are no better than they used to be but price was good…. Seem a little noise or than the contis they replace ride seems ok so far it’s wet and cold and feel planted but would spin if pushed hope to get 30k of use from them so 2 years hopefully maybe a little more see how they look at the time will probably swap them front to rear this time next year to even out the wear rates

Pretty sure they are C1 not 2/cc+
