Forgot to ask mate, is it front or rear? Any ramifications for geo etc? Could this explain the Works price
Passenger rear........I don't think Works factored any of that in, it was purely a tyre replacement.Jesus......hope I don't have to go through any geo etc......can do without another shafting at the moment !

...... Perhaps new suspension will be the way to go.....no telling what other damage that little screw may have donehehe:
Was thinking about an engine replacement just to be on the safe side........For all of you who are familiar with the film Gone in 60 Seconds.......I have decided to christen the SP10 "Eleanor", as she's turning into my nemesis I think.
So to the world.....here's "Eleanor"......

But I won't feel the order is complete until a well known AM Forum member pipes up that Mustangs are st, and driven chavs

Does the steering wheel turn or is it fixed in position ? After all, it's a bit too dangerous to attempt anything as reckless as a corner isn't it ?But I won't feel the order is complete until a well known AM Forum member pipes up that Mustangs are st, and driven chavs
Saying that, I bet in a straight line it'll be a LOT of fun !

you need to do a little research..... The new 2015 Mustang has all new independent rear suspension.. Reviews of the handling characteristics are extremely positive, and in some tests it's lapped faster than BMW M3, and other highly regarded cars....pSaying that, I bet in a straight line it'll be a LOT of fun !
Besides, it can't be any worse than a 23 year old 445 bhp car made in a shed in Blackpool...

Sure it'll be cracking.....when does it arrive ?
I don't buy the 'volume' excuse. These are not high volume tyres for Kwik Fit or anyone. They are exotic rare sizes! I would imagine a dealer could sell more given that the vehicles these fit is all that they see - if the price was right!
Ohh and please don't assume that an Aston main dealer wont absolutely mangle your rim or leave it covered with fitting soap

Is it true that many of the lower cost tyre vendors supply relatively 'old' stock? If so does that matter at all and how would you know?
This is true and you would know by the DOT code on the side of the tyre.How old is too old is another question i dont have the answer to
You could buy a 3 yr old tyre and do low mileage and end up with a 6 or 7 yesr old one.
I have recently bought Michelin Pilot Cup on my 996T and the rears are only £120 each but they are DOT 4712 (47th week of 2012). OK for me as my 996 does c. 12k a year, and even alternating between winters and summers, I would definitely use the tyre up by 2017/2018.
