These little beauties actually went on last Thursday, but haven't been able to log on succesfully since then :(
Had to wait over a week for the Goodyear F1s to arrive from mytyres.co.uk, but IMHO the combination was certainly worth the wait.
Can't believe just how grippy those new tyres are, plus the ride doesn't seem compromised for that extra inch, and they show off the calipers better than the 18" OEM Aristos. The CHs fill the arches much better than before - was a little worried that I might need to drop the suspension, and wasn't looking forward to an even harsher ride, but had to take that gamble in the name of modding :D

Excuse the filthy bodywork, but at least the rims are shiny :cool:
Have found out since taking these pics that I'm running with 30 psi in each tyre, and it should be 34 - 36 psi - oops - maybe that's why the ride is so good [hmm
Best top them up soon!
And will be getting a set of 15mm hubcentric spacers for the rears - they don't protrude quite as much as the fronts.
Can Teddy or Roy maybe help me out with those?
