A few other things needed 'touching up' by me but hey it seems to be the thing with PDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type of Klms are you guys getting on the SP9000's? I only got 27500 out of mine...... That's what I got from mine on the T3 - but those kms were covered fairly quickly, heheheh, and I'm happy with that mileage. I have LM 702s on now and I'm (so far) quite impressed with them - they grip like the SP9000s, don't tramline, and are about $100 per tyre cheaper. Just gotta see how they wear.

Guest PhilH Guests Posted 09/10/03 10:25 AM Share Posted 09/10/03 10:25 AM Good to see your dealer was thorough with their PD Aaron 1500 bucks and they cant even check the tyre pressures!! Same story here, the day after I picked mine upI went for a run and it was terrible. Really had me worried, what had I just purchased? Fortunately decided to check the tyre pressures and found a 7psi difference between the 2 front tyres. Sorted that out, like driving a different car. 1500 bucks ? what do you mean by that ?

Unless you got all that paint and farbic protection crap at full price...A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was running them at 38psi but they were starting to feather the tyre. Dropped it down to 34psi as told by the tyre experts at bob jane (good friend of mine)..

If they get to 34, I find the car does not handle as well. Factory 17" tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
