hi gang,

i had a blow out on the right rear of my cerb yesterday, in the wet and erm...at speed.oh, crap.

anyway, ho hum, no harm done (except to my wallet as i was on my way to the dealers to exchange the car for another, rats rats rats) but i now have to get a pair of tyres for the rear. because I'm looking to sell it, I'm going to keep bridgestones on the back, so that i don't have to replace the fronts to match. the size and tyre i currently have is bridgestone potenza so3 255/ 35Z r18 90Y. Ive had a quick look around and mytyres.co.uk seems to be okayish on price (any others?) but the sizes I'm finding are different, IE:

Potenza RE 040 255/35 R18 90Y double marking, 90 ZR, BW

or Potenza RE 050 A 255/35 R18 90Y

can somebody explain to me what the RE 050 A/ 040 relates to, and what double marking means (is that unidirectional?) and what the BW relates to?

id really appreciate your help, thanks chums

So what is a 2001 S6 worth as a trade in at a TVR dealer? I guess £18K.

Does this mean you've decided on the new car then Nerv? What did you choose in the end?

Ive not been reading the TVR forums much... do remember you saying you were thinking about a saggy. (A looong time ago, in a thread not too far far away)

Whats it to be Nerv? You're not going to walk away from TVR surely?

hiya bobby

im torn between an exige, an m3, a t350t and a porsche 911 (993), in no particular order of preference (displacement activity, anyone?).

i had planned to spend a bit of time in each of them at the weekend, right up until the point my rear end exploded at speed, shortly followed by my rear end exploding at speed.

i ordered my tyres today, but i just had a mail saying theyre gonna be two weeks!! oh, crap. anyone wanna lend me theyre wheel/ car for two weeks?

It'd be the t350 for me every time. Each to their ownsome of course, but why do you want to get shot of the cerb?
