The car was off the road for a few days last week with a puncture (Spare!?)
To cut a long story short, they dont make the Bridgestone SO2' anymore so i opted for two Toyos instead, had them done by etyres for £350. Big heads up.
They come to you to save me carting the wheels off in the Rav4 to my local tyre fitter (who quoted me horrendous amounts of my hard earned for the same tyres!)
So i had the two tyres done on the drive and the fitter says "What pressures do you normally run mate"......and i was hit by a sudden bout of numptiness....
"err, just whack 30 in" was my reply, so off on the test run and it was horrid, it actually felt like i had two flat tyres which was wierd, snaking under load and on the runout.
So a quick check on here and now ive got 25psi all round and shes sweet as a nut!
Just come back from a good hours blast and my love affair has been rekindled.....Nice aint it the sunshine. cloud9
Cant believe how much difference the pressures made.

Just booked in for a service (12K) at TVR Power in June weeping

I tried TCS but they dont do servicing now, Powers a bit closer to me anyhow. All good reports from there i hope, does anyone on here use them?

Hi Loz

I've been using TVR Power for over 3 years now with no cause for complaint. You car will be in good hands with Dom and his lads. As Dom will tell you himself I'm very fussy with my Cerb and he's bent over backwards on more than one occasion to keep me happy.
A word of warning though, He does have a decidedly dodgy sense of humour smile

Regards
Simon
