can you believe it?

I STILL CAN'T

4 days ago, I checked my front GoodYear tyres, and I was pleasantly surprised.

They still have a good 15000 or even 30000 miles of thread left in them.

They are still original tyres from new. The car has done 72600 so far .

I will not be surprised if they lasted more than 100000 miles in total.

At 52000 miles I had the rears replaced for the first time, all because of an irreparable puncture (huge nail in the side wall)

Have a look yourself.........

The picture below shows a spare set of NEW tyres and 142s wheels that I unsuccessfully tried to sell for £1000 but people obviously prefer to pay the dealer £1700+ for the same.
Sigh!
