Hi Kis172 It wouldnt make a differnece would it if it was a slightly different tread pattern would it? And how much did you pay for them,im only going to get one. Ian

Hello Just found a nasty great nail embedded in the side wall of my rear tyre,it will probably need a new tyre if it gets taken out and goes down,but can anyone tell me the price of the Michellin tyre on the Mark 1 172,and where probably it would be cheapest to get it from,say on mail...

Hello No the only thing whats gone off are the dash lights (the mph and rev counters) the lights up and down the sides are okay. The passenger rear night light as gone but i dont think this has anything to do with it. Ian
