Bit slow mate, must make overtaking a pain

I’ve been with them before too, excellent customer service.

Anytime bud

Yup, absolutely fine.

NB is a mk2 MX5.

Pound for pound, the MX5 is most fun car I’ve ever driven. Definitely doesn’t need any more than the 160bhp it came from the factory with, and is plenty quick enough for fun on UK roads. Power isn’t everything. Weight is far more important imho.

Let me put it into context for you, dear. Having tried 4x sets of Eagle F1 on 3x different cars, and 5x sets of MPS2/MPSS on 4x different cars, along with knowing the owners of the cars throughout that time along with their driving style compared with mine, every single time the Michelin lasted longer in a rough comparison than the Goodyears. Does that make the new tyres automatically longer lasting? Of course not. I’ve never said it did. What I’m using is previous historical first hand evidence to produce a reasonable hypothesis, it’s totally up to others to produce a scientific study if they do choose. For absolute clarity, as I’ve said to you many times, I’m sure the new Goodyears are excellent tyres and I’d love to try them. Have you tried them yet? Or the MPS4/MPS4S?

Going on previous history of both brands premium sets, in the interest of fairness.

Then you go up in width to account for that, remembering that profile is a percentage of width not an outright number on its own I’ve not tried the Goodyears, however I do tend to agree that any extra cost for the Michelins will be more than offset by how much longer they last. I’ve got 24000 miles out of a fronts of the MPS4 and I had 20000 out of the rears, which is even better than the old MPSS. Absolutely crazy wear rates from tyres that are soooo grippy.

Legal threats are always a good way to get people on your side believing you to be good guys

I hereby give this post my official Seal Of Approval And yes, you’ll notice a massive difference.

Nah you’re thinking of TikTok mate

Doesn’t sound wrong then, more like it’s straight but following the camber on the road. One of those things you may have to live with, my old Zed drove me nuts with that until I figured out what it was!

Is it actually pulling, or just following the camber in the road? Try driving on the other side of the road (where safe) and see if it goes away.

Yes. But it’s not going to be a straight swap.

That’s why they’re so good, precisely because they don’t stand out or are too flashy or anything. They just do a very good job and they’re a nice place to be. Personally I’m grateful for cars these days that don’t feel the need to have a million and one creases in just to be different, but that’s probably age talking

How would they know if they never recover the car? And if they do, who said it was you that did it?

@davey_83 another one of your crew here!

I’m not so convinced that a set of rear lights and some wheels could turn it into something desirable, but I hope I’m wrong.

Assuming for one minute those tenders are correct, am I the only think thing it’s very generic and not a pleasing design at all?

^^^ Do this.

Oh you really must mate, makes getting those under trays off an absolute breeze! Good luck with the clam removal, expect hours of fun getting it to line up when you pop it back on...!

Have you got the eliseparts quick release fixings in?

They shouldn’t be launching anything right now, I can’t see this being anything other than a huge sales failure given the likely economy for the next couple of years. Very bad timing, although not their fault at all (well, it kinda is as this should’ve been out years ago, but you know what I mean!). Will almost certainly be white, I agree. Although it might be like the Supra and look better in black to hide the awful angles it’ll no doubt come with
