You buy tyres because they have a cool tread pattern? hmm.. I normally use mytyres.net but there have been a few moans and groans lately, ive just ordered a set and delivery seems to be taking longer than i would of hoped. -Rob

I can assure you there is an interest... :)

Unlucky mate, though i would like to say there is sometimes an excuse! Im normally one to moan about this type of thing but last week my door was flung open by the wind as i got out my car just knocking the Volvo next to me. Luckily for me the note i left caused no respone! -Rob

Though remember youll have more grip so that may not be true

10% would mean he was doing 144mph so possible i guess.

i told you 16s wth 195/45s have a less overall height!

Good luck!

You have a 3 year warranty, a few problems arent really an issue in my view. Its part of the Renault experience, its called character :)

Get the new EVS, think k-tec have them on their valver. -Rob

lol, friday night must be a field day with all the girls wearing short skirts...

I know now and again people are after these, and i think theyre stupidly expensive brand new so you could do well out of these, no idea how well though!

You must only be 2 foot tall!

One good thing is that the 195/45 tyres look so much better, the 185/55s are tractor tyres! I also worked out the 16s with them tyres there is 3mm less in height so less rolling resistance and more grip, result. -Rob

Whos the ugly dude in the reflection ;)

Theyll fit. It will be interesting to see how my car with Cup alloys will compare looks wise. -Rob

She has a witness though..

Yeah id like to see what her description of the car is, and the witnesses. Surely if it was this easy to blame someone there would be loads more cases? This would mean i could note down someones reg and blame them for my damage on the wing, all i need is a mate with me, sounds a bit too easy...

f**k dude thats bad! One thing she has to do is describe what happened, so if for example she says you hit her with a wingmirror, you must have wingmirror damage? Id just refuse to pay, ask for proof etc. and if the crazy cow persists get your solicitor involved! -Rob

lol ok cheers anyway mike, once i get to 110mph in mine i have to wait a minute for it to go upto 111mph..then 112mph etc so have plenty of time to notice!

Maybe it depends on insurer

Weve done this before! Make sure youre all at the BWater meet..

All mk2 172s are group 17 asfaik. Mk1 172 is group 16.

Oh dear! The strange thing was though that when i got back into the sort of urban areas it picked up again to almost 30mpg, youd think if there was a prob id have poo mpg all the time? Dont suppose you know how many rpm you were doing Mike? cheers

Yeah, normally at more sedate speeds im getting well over 50mpg so i was a bit miffed. I feel another trip back to Renault is on the cards..

Tenner ill win !

I was travelling back home on the A12 friday night and was only getting 25mpg! Admittedly though i was travelling at 110mph @5000rpm-ish. Would this explain it or should i be getting better? As i think i should be out of a 1.2!! Cheers -Rob

Well said!

lol nice try cupdriver but the germans dont write numbers differently, last time i checked, im sure you can work it out.

Could try checking your owners manual!
