Falken all seasons all round yesterday, I wanted rainexpert5’s but for a similar price I thought I’d give the fallen a go….slightly noisy though atm.

I love Rainexperts. They've been brilliant on every car I've had them fitted to.

They’re on the Ms Note, much quieter than the falkens…let’s see how they go, v little write ups on them oddly.

They used to get a lot of coverage bitd because they were excellent for cheap and a bit of an unknown brand but the price has steadily increased and eroded their advantage. I've moved to all seasons for our cars now.

Toyo are another brand worth looking at?!

Yeah, living on the edge of the moors at least one of us needs a car with a little some help from the tyres. ❄️

Got a 2 pin SP14 connector so I can plug the smart charger in without lifting the bonnet in the C70. Will get that fitted over the weekend.

I've ended up changing my commute route due to the volume of potholes and speed humps. That looks bad pal.

All sorted, the garage even picked up and dropped the car home for me.

Volve have reversed there decision to sell only XCxx's in the UK so you can now order up a new V60 or V90. Can't remember whether the saloon version ls were coming back too.
