Ok so my missus and I share a Mk3 1.5dci - 86bhp. Now don't get me wrong it's cheap as chips to run but there is a couple things which are annoying me. One of two things, it only gets 40-50mpg in general day-to-day driving. Yes it can get 50-60mpg but we need to drive like an absolute granny to...

Camskil do them for £110 per corner (205-45-16). What are R888's Priced at, at this size (205-45-16) to compare?
Thanks.
