Sounds as though you have suspicions about Sweden .... as do I.

Eagle F1s are good. That's what I used before the PS4s. If it's 'bang for your buck' you're after, in terms of delivering the best performance in terms of price, grip, comfort and wear, then the Goodyears are good, although a little noisy, especially with low-profile.

The PS4s though, simply outclass them in all areas, so are worth the extra

Yeah, best not to take your car to the limits of BHP/torque. Always leave some 'headroom'. You know how it works, same with hi-fi!

Yeah, like I said, based on pure 'bang for buck', the Goodyears are great. But they're not the best, IME, for road noise, especially when you're running low-profiles (30, 35), and things can get a little 'rumbly', especially on our, erm, less than perfect UK roads!

Swapping from them to the PS4s though, was a BIG upgrade, in ALL areas, but of course results will vary from car to car, and how and where you do most of your driving

Very cool, and for what it is, not a bad price! Not sure about the grey seats, though. I'd have wanted something funkier, such as red, or maybe a combo of red and black

The wheels are particularly gorgeous, and similar to mine!

Worth watching for you, Ali

Well its MOT & Test in the Morning. More expense. But it all ok in our household to spend wads of money on the fukin' car but a slanging match when i want to but a bit of stereo equipment. I spent £48 on a nearly new Cartridge & ended up getting the cold shoulder.

Lol - don't you have separate accounts, so that what you earn, you can spend on what you want, and vice versa? That's what we do. We have a joint one too, but that's only for the bills. You need to agree who can spend what (on what) in advance, and then stick to it.

That way there'll be no arguments
