As some will know i recently had a blow out in France in the GS, faced with the dilemma there of not being able to get the maserati size within the weekend i had the car recovered to uk thinking it would be easy to get a new tyre ,
Finicky bugger that i am , i wont replace just the one i want a pair of the same (already Vredstein ultrac sessanta ) a brilliant tyre and served me well for 1100K miles so far , fronts still have atleast 5mm left on them whereas the rears have around 4 mm , after exhaustive net searching and phone calls this morning ive just come up with one tyre , apparently Vredstein are at present concentrating on their winter production and have the sessanta scheduled for a February production run ,
What do i do , surely putting just one tyre on will make them look all the same but give an uneven balanced feel /handling or swap allegiance to something alternative but as a pair , im quite happy in fact more than happy with Vredstein and want to continue with them
Question is do i buy cheap budget run arounds and rag them silly for 6 months or go for a decent tyre which i'll want to get my monies worth out of but end up with two different makes front and rear for sometime
regards loz
