Simo_UK Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 You'd have thought that Incontinence would have benefitted from decent 'Rim Protection'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mneil Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 My grandson wears Pampers pull ups; good protection both at the front and the rear.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London987 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Black circles were terrible when I tried to buy tyres....check their FaceBook page out. Maybe brown circles would be a better name for incontinent rim protection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart21UK Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I used Camskill for KN tyres in late November and they came direct from the manufacturer within a week (from abroad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxstercol Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Incontinence aside, how good are Goodyear tyres or do they lead to one shyateting themselves? Thinking of getting them on my 987, considerably cheaper for a full set than Michelins. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Try Wembley Tyres. He'll bite your head off and call you names, but can't be beaten on price in my experience. Anyone who's shopped there will know what I'm taking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rears were changed at 18.5K. hard to gauge as for at least 4/5 months I have the winter tyres on...I would say they aren't wearing any worse than the Pirelli's (or Michelin PS's I used to have on the 987) FWIW I never used to get more than around 15000 miles on rears anyway...at a guess I got the equivalent (ish) of this on the Pirelli's and would expect the same from the Goodyear's... I have had the car for 3yrs 3 mths, done 28000 miles and had a set of Pirelli's from new, replaced by the Goodyear's sometime last spring (?) and run the winter's for two years in the midst of that (4/5 months each time). The Goodyear's are likely to last me all of this year (when they go back on in Spring) and probably need replacing Spring 2018, the winters maybe to be replaced Dec 2017 when they go back on again...if any of that helps you gauge it!

martyn Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 I want to migrate over to N rated Goodyears from Bridgestone, my rears have about 3 to 4mm tread the fronts about 6mm so obviously I will be changing the rears first, is it ok to put a pair of Goodyears on the rear, keeping the Bridgestones on the front, then changing the fronts over to Goodyears when worn to 2 to 3mm? In effect driving for a period with 2x axle pairs, Goodyears on the rear and Bridgestones on the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
