Those of you lucky enough to have already taken delivery, a few questions please:

What make of tyres did it come with?

How are people finding tyre wear so far - if anyone has done more than a couple of thousand miles that is?

Anyone noted much oil usage - again if anyone has done more than a couple of thousand miles?

Do they all leave the factory set for either fixed or variable service regime - it simply depends on your annual mileage/ usage?

Anyone fitted aftermarket locking wheel nuts as heard a worrying story today about Middlesbrough dealer having a dozen cars broken into - smashing rear window, to get locking wheel nut and remove wheels...

Surely if you fit aftermarket wheel nuts, the locking wheel nut will still be in the car, so the wheels could just as easily be stolen??

Current cars are arriving with Bridgestone Potenza S001's.

Haven't had mine long enough to answer your others...

I thought stealing alloys was a thing of the past...

Tempted to try and sell the Bridgestones and buy a set of Michelin Supersports and winter tyres when mine arrives...
