    Back to 16"s

    Was checking my tyres and brakes at the weekend and was horrified to see the inner edges of my front tyres had worn through to the canvas

    pretty scary considering the day before i had to get home from work in a swift manner......


    so I had to clean the grot and corrosion of the standard alloys and get them inflated. Cant say they feel any more comfortable than the 17"s.....

    Ive had the tracking aligned and adjusted for abit of negative toe -in, so i'll keep the 16"s on for a wee bit to see if they wear on the inside before fitting new rubber to the 17"s


    inane story over!!
