Locking Wheel Nuts

[Nuggs]

It's almost time for new boots, so while I'm at it, I'll pick up a set of locking wheel nuts too...

Anyone got any recommendations for LWNs that will fit the Estorils?

TIA:thumbup:

Hiya Nuggs!

I got a set of LWN's from my tyre dealer when I had the new 'boots' fitted a few weeks ago. They are functional, look fine and IMHO its not worth shelling out extra cash on others that are equally effective but maybe look a little prettier. Any tyre place/ Halfrauds etc should carry them. BTW, I am running 16" Estorils all round!

Makes sense since you live in a crime-ridden 'Chav' town!

Joking aside, which tyres are you going for, Nuggsy? Trev needs new boots, too.

SO 2's seem to be available again!!! Certainly down here in London! Bought 4 x few weeks ago!! I heard that they were being re-released as the SO 3's were not as successful!?

Cerby4.5 - that's one gorgeous looking Chim you have in your profile

May I enquire where I can lay my hands on some SO2s?

Hiya Cosmoschick!

Thanks for the comment, am hoping it will look even nicer once the hood and a few other bits I am having done! Your car looks great too! (Blue ones are faster as we both know!!!)
Got my tyres from Northway Tyres (Colindale, N London). Cant lay my hands on the number at pres, sorry. I am running 225/16 front and 245/16's on the rear!

That Cosmos, is the $1,000,000 question.

I'll probably go for the Toyos, although I've also heard good things about the Goodyear Eagle F1s.

I'd also be interested to hear if anyone has any experience with any of the Pirelli 'top end' tyres (I've always had Pirellis on my cars and have found them to be excellent).

Then again, if SO2s are coming back...

I think I need to do a search of the Chim forum tomorrow!

Blue is definitely *the* best colour for a Tiv but don't tell everyone! Thanks for the above info.

There's an offer I can't refuse

Two will suffice for now, thanks

Hiya

Hope you get sorted with the tyres, let me know if I can help any further!

I need 2 rears (225-50-16) if the SO2's are comming back that would make all of our lives easier for tyre choices.

Is that right? How do they compare with the Toyos?

I have only ever had S02`s on my car, but don`t know what to change to next.
I have been emailing bridgestone, they have not yet brought out a replacement for the s03, which replaced the s02!

The last email I sent went along the lines of what do they recommend? The reply was they may be bringing the s02 back or something simular. I won`t hold my breath though. Think it will be GSD3 goodyears for me!
