We found a new trail today .........

Found another 🐑👍
-
Good luck for a positive outcome 🤞
-
The car additionally has an active Skoda Connect account enabled.

On collecting my 2023 Karoq i was frustrated to find Wireless Android Auto would not work with my old Huawei p30 pro, whilst it worked faultlessly with my wife's Pixel 6a. I opted for a wired solution for use with my Huawei, but following a recent switch to a Galaxy S23 I found Wireless Android Auto now works flawlessly 🤷♀️
-
And another!
-
Many thanks 👍 The rears are being fitted on Sunday, which leaves me with x3 lste 2022 Bridgestones with 4-5 tread remaining. May try advertising them

I vame across this 35 year old stunner whilst out and about yesterday 👌

Clumber Park earlier..................

It's all about Shaun the Sheep at Clumber Park 🙂

Tonight's sunset ..........

Rather ominously I thought the steam from the power station resembled a Mushroom cloud 😬☢️
-
A few from Attenborough nature reserve earlier today............
-
The latter 👍
-
With the current promotion it will be £143.18 / tyre (fitted) from Costco
-
Similar price to Asda tyres, although ATS more costly than BlackCircles
-
Never used BlackCircles or ATS - will check prices 👍
-
Very grateful for all the input - Briskoda is an excellent resource 👍
-
I recall a Citroën ZX I owned many years ago had an engineered in tendency to lift off oversteer. A very underrated car👍
-
My local independent seems able to match / beat pretty much all suppliers, although not generally Costco for Michelin. Given the sidewall damage I wasn't prepared to risk a motorway journey to Costco, hence the locally supplied and fitted tyres for the front. I may well now use the current Costco offer (-£40) to source 2 more Cross Climate for the rear 👍
-
Apologies - I obscured the reg plate. The car is a 23 plate, factory order, which I collected 6 months ago. Tyres were rotated at 10k miles.
-
Of course I suspect I would only see an issue with front / rear grip imbalance in extremis - I very much enjoyed an off-road driving course some years ago where I learned to steer the car on the throttle. I also had loads of fun in a (closed and snow covered) local supermarket car park with a RWD 3.0 V6 Lexus learning how to handle the car in poor conditions.
-
Costco have a policy of only fitting new tyres to the rear axle.
-
Car is 6 months old (12k miles). OEM tyres had date codes of 39:22. 4-5 mm tread remains and all seem to be wearing evenly, although the car required a new steering rack (under warranty) and underwent tracking adjustment thereafter. Incidentally Asda tyres were a bit dearer than my local independent for Cross Climates
