4/6k maxOriginally posted by shimmy View Postwhat about rear tyre wear?
Rears get eaten quickly, although once the cold weather finally arrives to stay, the winters are going on again, they help massively in the wet and colder temps, hardly worn the vredestein's between Nov-March last year, so does help the tyre budget and grip levels using winters.

Good to hear!Originally posted by DazBlackCSL View PostActually prefer the Saloon/Estate to the coupe, both lovely.
They will probably drop a bit I reckon with new model out, so worth waiting to see.
It's not too bad, general around town sensible driving 17/19, motorway cruise 24/26, but in Germany and when pushing on single figures.
So not as bad as you would think.
Re the winters, do you keep a spare set of alloys/wheels ready to go or get 4 tyres changed over (and then back again in March)?

That's the plan when I have some spare funds, currently just winters get swapped onto std wheels, so one set.Originally posted by CSLScot View PostGood to hear!

Probably going for a set of OZ Ultralegga's as the spare set or summer wheels, keep the std multispokes for winter.
There is a lovely estate run by a chap in Germany on the OZ's and KW V3's

I put 265's on the rear of my 63 saloon - fit a treat on 19" rims. I've also heard 275's fit too. Obviously 255's better for that tail-wagging exit from junctions :smokin:Originally posted by DazBlackCSL View Post4/6k max
