Baby's got new shoes!

It turned out to be a cross-point screw, all the way through in the centre of the tread of the off-side front tyre. As all 4 tyres (especially th rears) were getting low on tread I bit the bullet, and now at last the new tyres are here: 4 fresh 255/40 ZR17 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3's

After much browsing of the tyre posts on GTR.co.uk I finally opened my wallet to pay a little more than for my usual Kumho Ecsta Supra (pretty good and amazing value). I haven't really driven them very far, but even so I'm impressed with their grip and 'feel', which is much more 'all of a piece' than the previous Bridgestones.

I'm impressed with the new suspension too, but think there's definately some mileage in fine-tuning, and will probably be taking the car to Andrew Walsh for some twiddling sometime soon...
