Tyre suggestions
Have heard that Pirellis are good in wet, but a bit soft otherwise? Seen some standard Mk1s running Avon tyres - what are these like? Bearing in mind want to keep wheel and tyre size and don't want to pay silly prices (?50 a tyre max), is there any other brands worth looking at?

Avon I've had on my B-EM and was well pleased with them. Good grip, long lasting and good control when I had a blow out on one!! 8O

markwon- If you what tyres whether uniroyal or Avon, go to Viking (for traders only, but they sell to anyone…lol) in Trafford Park Manchester. I got them for very cheap.

Can't lay my mits on my bill…will re-post when I find it..
Memory says about ?35 ish + Vat + about ?6 ish for a balance (I know I had change from ?90 for the pair)
Talk at yer later

I have no experience of Avon on my GTI…had 'em on little old anklesnapper hooligan Riley Elf "S" a thousand moons ago….one split its sidewall, the other almost split my sidewall…I quit 'em whilst I was ahead (and still had one …a head..that is!)

Have to say in defence of the Avons again I've used on other cars and were top notch - but about ?90 per corner!! 8O
