Make up your mind, Gonz.

BTW, you are the lucky recipient of my 4800th post.

Congrats, mate. Sign of a misspent childhood retirement?

Very nice roses, Phil.   

[Just Rick]

Love roses,I've never been able to set my rose garden up here,used to have a good one in Kwinana years ago

[Aussie Keith]

Nice job with the rose. I'm not allowed to kill grow them.

[Doggie 1]

I don't like the little pricks so don't have them many.

[rustynutz]

Never been a fan of growing roses....

Back in the old days when I had a garden I used to trim them back to ground level with the lawn mower....Rotten things would still come back....

+ Spent the day at the Torrens Parade Ground celebrating Veteran's Health Week.
+ Brenton Ragless as MC and a whole bunch of Veteran support organisations putting on everything from sausage sizzle to rock'n'roll dancing.
+ Underwent the heart health check and came out well within the AWESOME category for blood pressure, sugar, cholesterol and heart rate.
+ Came back with armfuls of 'showbags'.
+ Won a couple of mushroom recipe books in the free raffle.

- I had to swap wheels earlier than I had planed for we had the first snow yesterday. Even though it melted, what was water and puddles yesterday had turned gradually into ice by midnight.
+ I seem to be heading to Cologne for two weeks upon my return from Hanoi
- it's my 5-th day on duty and I will be working for the next week, so 12 days in total

- I had to change out the front right (driver's) tyre at the service station this morning. A slow leak had meant I got to refuel but not before noticing a low clearance going into the station.
+ I baptised the tidy toolkit and spare wheel
- After 53000Kms, I need a new set of tyres.

Suggestions? I had Bob Jane email back with an offer of Bridgestone Ecopias at $144 fitted and balanced. Are they any good?

[rustynutz]

Said it all before I know but I'm more than happy with my Continental CCC5's.....

Grip, wet or dry is pretty damn good and they are quieter than the standard Hankooks....Oh, and they seem to offer a more comfortable ride.

[The Gonz]

Thanks, Rusty. I'd be happy with another set of the original Kumho Solus KH15 to match the spare, given I got over 50Mm out of them.

However, they don't make them any more and I was offered the KR26 for a good deal (I left it on my desk at work but I think around $140) or the KH17 for a bit more.

I'm targeting the 205/55R16 to match the previous. Any tips on varying this v sticking with it?

[rustynutz]

I stuck with the same size....Cost was $153 per tyre, fitted and balanced......

[Doggie 1]

On my FD I had two sets of Kumhos.
On my GD I have that other Korean brand whose name escapes me and I can't be bothered going out to check (not Hankooks).
But when I replace these I think I'll be following Alan's and Rusty's advice and going for the Continentals too.
Plus when I asked my tyre guy his opinion on what to put on, his first choice was Continentals as well.

Nexen?

[The Gonz]

Well, I'll see how the tyre guys explain the pros and cons. I have the CCC5, KR26 and Ecopia to compare. Thank you!
