    Bridgestone S03's for me.

    Near as dammit the first thing I did after getting the S2 was replace the horrible nasty terrible awful Continentals - avoid them at all cost.

    Ck.
    Shocked, exhausted, hosed, bushed, dumped, chipped, mounted, filtered, gauged, packed, intermittantly wiped and braked. I mean broken. Now, about the car...

      Have to agree with Greg's choice there

          Tyres are subjective, one mans meat and all that... I personally would always pay more for the sofest tyre I can get, Doug summed it up perfect on page 1, that's where my head is at too. By coincidence, I also run T1S's (on a side note, T1S's are no more so I read!! - replaced with new stuff!!)

          As for oil, I have used Synta (the silver one, semi synthetic) for the last 10 years on every car and bike I ever had! Its very good oil (Esso) and its VERY well priced about £13 for a FULL 5 litres!! at this price, change your oil every 3 months for the price of a round of beers! (unless Ant is in the round!! )

          Thing is.... if your changing your oil every 3000 - 6000 miles (mine is every 3000) then you might be throwing money away if your using fully synthetic and at £40 an oil change, its a bit expensive. Just my *thoughts*.
