Good news and bad news

[Quicksilver]

Good news: (for me anyway) - picked up a brand new set of four SO2 pp's fitted, balanced etc for £329 all in from Morden Tyres in South London on Saturday - this seemed a great price!!
Bad news: - think I got the last of the fronts (205 - 55 -zr 15's)
Good news: they think they still might be able to get hold of some rears (245 -45 zr 16's)
Thanks once again to PH for pointing me in there direction (no affiliation)

Funny how everyone who gets SO2s gets the very last ones - it's been going on for a year!

exactly why I posted!! - plus of course the price which was by far the best I could find - anyone looking for fronts should call them (Graham)and see what response you get.

You quite sure they're not SO3s with 'SO3' crossed out and 'SO2' written on in crayon?

I got the real last ones 2 years ago... All others claim to be the last ones but are in fact the penultimate ones.

So I was correct then...........
If Steve got the last ones. and I got the penultimate ones - then there are NO MORE left - it is official !!

- seriously, Morden tyres worth trying if you are looking (their price was £160 less than Micheldever quoted for a full set of SO3's)

Quicksilver - You b*stard! I phoned Morden up just after he sold them to you. You lucky s*d. Graham said that you were insistant that he didn't flog them to anybody else, enev so, I still put my name down in case you failed to show, (what a vulture I am)Hey ho, I now have SO3s (which feel fine to me) from them at £440 all in which is a top price, I recomend Morden Tyres!

Can also recomend Austec who thoroughly aligned all 4 wheels and just as well 'cos they were all over the shop. Everything feels much more 'running on rails' and feels lighter also.

Sorry Piersy - but good on Graham for not simply flogging them first come, first served!!
