Finally wore out the crummy tyres that where on the Galant at the time of purchase. I had been getting a lot of noise which i thought at first was tyres but it could have been rear bearings.
Fortunately it was the tyres - i do expect a bit of road noise. :)
I got 4 Goodyear F1 - GS D2's for £ 85.00 each, all in incl vat & balance for 215-17's
The GS D2 is IMHO the best all round tyre avaliable, i had them on my scoob as well, i could drive it almost (and i do mean almost) as hard in the wet as in the dry - excluding greasy roads of course!
Dry grip is brillaint and the wet performance is outstanding. I have had a lot of other 'performance tyres in the past but these are the best.
Anyway i also has a full geometry set-up as well, cost £ 70.00 (reduced from £ 90.00 + vat), it was out on all wheels, not just tracking.
The car feels like new, the steering is pin sharp and the turn-in is much better.
much lighter in the pocket but much happier with the car.
