The P Zero Nero's bud roughly £230 a wheel, the Sport Contact 3's offered by Chungster weigh in at £255, had them on my old Fiesta ST and now the Roc and cant fault them

Just been out to check tyres...oops down to wear indicators.

Quick call to National tyres (on SMT so must use them) and they want to fit SC2s!!!

I said no I want SC5s! So theyre gonna call Continental direct to see if they can send some for tomorrow. :D
