91 Escort GT (almost sold)
96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve)

i have st-200 wheels, they came with stock 215-45-17 pirelli p6000s well damn those tires they lasted me 16,000 miles on a ZETEC! so we know it wasnt from burnouts. i have recently bought a set of 225-45-17 michelin pilots and the tire covers the wheels much more, fills the wheel wells better, steers better, absorbs shock better, i must say i will stay with this size for quite some time im sure

Ok well I found my centrecaps the cheapest than anyone else, new, getting them directly from the UK. Goto fordpartsuk.com I talked to Trevor (well this was 1.5 years ago now  ) and to my door for (at the time) �£18. As opposed to the $100 CDN the dealer wanted

18 pounds. Isn't that about $65 American these days?? You can get a full set from BAT for under $60 - plus shipping.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

For the 225 45 17 they initially wanted about $130, now its at $150 plus mounting and balancing. 215's should be cheaper anyway...
You don't want to know how much he paid. It would make you sick.

I maybe path914's B**** now, but wait until he needs his clutch done. We will see WHO is WHO's B**** then!
