That's cheap John! Probably the way to go seeing as you are toying with trading her... :goodjob:

So true Dazz , but after thinking it over i don't think a used BT50 tray back , such a great idea. i think i'll just stick to the i30 & flog her on dirt roads, as she seems ok also she has great traction, infact on looking back , i have owned a lot of utes & tray backs over the years & about all they have on the i30 is a bit more ground clearance & ability to carry a larger load . but the i30 CRDi with the weight of the diesel motor on drive wheels & low rev torque , has better traction than any of them. so i'll just keep using & abuseing her i don't think she will let me down.
cheers

John, maybe you could get the angle grinder out and convert your hatch into a ute?  :undecided:  :razz:

That would be a VW Caddy:

I am wondering if anyone here has had the Bridgestone Adrenalin RE002's on their car? I had the RE001's on a previous card and thought they were pretty damn quiet & grippy. The problem is they tend to be $229 per corner for the wheels I have.

I've read a lot of happy customers here about the Continental CCC5's, so I've now also got these to consider.

Although, I am a fair way off needing new tyres.
