  1. Thanks for the welcomes, and advice! Sounds like it may be a good idea to look at something other than the contis...in all honesty, I can't say anything bad as that's all I've had on it since coming back to the UK in 2010, and my previous car was a completely different animal (280bhp Subaru Legacy twin turbo in NZ-I was 21-22, fuel was cheaper, insurance was non-compulsory AND cheaper anyway, and the roads were a bit quieter, and fun...). I'm aware that the 18s are noisier...they do look good though! There's another question there actually-the lacquer on two of them is flaking away badly-anyone had any experience of this, and is it worth looking to replace/repair? Last question, I've previously gone through the local Skoda dealer, although last time I went to hiQ for the front tyres, (they put the wheels back on the wrong sides, and lost one set of wheelnuts and tried to accuse me of having taken them off before...it was almost funny) so I've been looking around-heard good things about blackcircles.com-can anyone back that recommendation up? Thanks again!
  2. Apologies if this is a silly question, my first post. On any forum, ever! Anyway, the time has come (again) to replace the tyres on my Superb. It has been wearing Continental Sport Contacts ever since it left the factory (5s the last few times), and I'm wondering if there is anything 'better' out there, as it's a fair amount of money to shell out, and although the media reviews are great, user ratings aren't quite as complimentary across the web. I'm not hugely knowledgeable, but from what I can see, experience with tyres could vary vastly from car to car, so what experience has everyone had with tyres on their Superbs, and what were they?! Seems power/weight may be a consideration, so it's a 2.0TDI CR 170. 225/40 r18. Any thoughts on vredestein ultrac sessantas?! Car is driven around town regularly, and 50 mile round trips up the motorway three times a week, I don't hang about on the motorway, but at the same time I don't race! Thanks in advance!
