I'd swooped fronts for rears at 12,000 as the rears were wearing faster than the fronts - bit bizarre that. Vehicle is very gently driven and now shows 56mpg over the last 8,000 miles - lots of long runs mind.Nice deal -if only they were 15" I'd snap up a set up for the hearse.
I'm also in the market for a set of winter tyres, brand undecided yet so needed a set of steel rims. There is a bloke on ebay at the moment with a stack of steel rims and brand new 215/55 R16 Mich Premacy by the name of buyritesi. Got a set of four mounted and delivered for £110 a pop. Excellent service - cheaper price by a margin than my local rubber merchant. Rims are Item number: 261085616340.
I've no connection with the guy but am well pleased with the service.
Now then which winter tyre - tending towards Dunlop S4 Wintersports at the mo but at £146 a corner.....ouch!

Shocking wear rate though david- At trade-in time,the michelin energy's on my 2010 were two thirds worn at 26000,the backs were about 1/3 down.
It is on my to do list.
