The bad thing, I played shite golf today. The good thing, I am sitting in my air conditioned house, as it is 32C outside.

Waiting for Cocktail hour 5pm, so I can open a 500ml can of Three Oaks Cider.  Slurp. :P

That's interesting.
I'm not aware of any mobile tyre companies over here but may stand corrected.
I guess we normally get an alignment done at the same time though.

Nah, they were all changed at 55,000 miles. Now, at nearly 100,000 miles the backs are at 5mm but the fronts are on the limit (1.6mm)

I got 68,000 kms out of my first set of Kumhos on the i30 and sold it with a second set of Kumhos which had also done 68,000 kms but still had quite a lot of tread left.

I used to get 100,000 kms + out of a set of Kumhos on my Falcons before I bought the i30.

I've been fancying a cider lately, is 3 oaks any good  :question:

Hi Phil, my word 3 Oaks is good cider. Made in your State too.  I am a Coeliac - Gluten Free, so Cider is my drink now, plus wine of course.  3 Oaks is available in Mac Liquor (Woollies) or Dan Murphy's.  Good summer drink, better than Strongbow, well to my taste anyway, got more guts in it..

There are a few roving tyre fitting operations in OZ. Some of them will even do an alignment.

 :snigger: I know. I don't believe in Valentines day. It's all about making money. But I met my husband on Valentines day so we got married on the same day 3 years later. Weird. And thanks :)
