So our civic has front tyres at the wear bars, but also, I found out tonight that the source of the ticking noise that's been following us around for a good two weeks is actually a fairly large self tapping screw lodged in the rear wheel. I am going to see if it can be repaired as the rears have lots of life in them.

If I can't get it done, I'll buy 3 of the same tyres (bridgestone er300's) so that they all match. But if they can repair it then I am thinking of getting different tyres on the front.

Preferably cheaper tyres, but I have no idea what's good. How are Avon/Dunlop/Goodyear/Continental at around that 100-120 price point? Or is all a bit much of a muchness and it doesn't really matter at that price? (ie all just as likely to find the nearest ditch)

The bridgestones have been ok I must say, it's not a powerful car and being a Honda there's no such thing as enough torque to break traction. They have worn incredibly well too which is a big plus.

Well, managed to get the very same tyres from Kwikfit for 74 a corner. This is their online discount price but I rang up my local kwikfit and the manager said he can bump the appointment up to this morning. Nice.
