I had Conti Ecos on a Rover 416 a few years back, they weren't bad as it goes. Better than the Goodyears it had on it when I got it, and I managed to get 9000 miles out of the fronts, which for the way I used to drive back then was a miracle. I also prefer Michelins. The Xantia is going in for 4 new ones tomorrow. Mike P

Must take photos before I paint it. I think the paint on the bonnet's evolving. To be fair, I do wash the Saab. With Autoglym shampoo. Just the one bucket, though, and a Tesco jaycloth. |
