Tyres
OK, I need some new tyres for my R53 Cooper S. It's currently running Pirelli Eufori's both front and back but I only need the fronts so i'm kinda tempted to remain with that brand and type. I've also had them on the car since delivery so that's only adding to the arguement.
I've had a quote for £233.50 from BlackCircles through Central Tyres, a local guy who Holly has used can price match, the best Cooper Colchester can do is price match to £255. Do I, Go with the local guy, or pay extra for BMW / MINI or, Is there any alternative tyre that can be recommended?

Lets face it... Runflats will always be hard... The newer Dunlop SP01's are much better though...

Yours are prob SP9000's Emily... I had those before and have to say I think they are better than Euforias but unfortunately are prone to splitting... It's a sad fact though that you need a second mortgage when buying Runflat tyres...
