daz05 Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 Just to be clear they prise up in about 5 seconds no messing with door card. To be honest it's an easy job too, bolted in rather than those nasty plastic clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hopefully seeing Robin in a few weeks to have my puddle lights activated :-). Edited April 16, 2022 by michelin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just lifts the grab a bit the vinyl stuff they fit as standard is awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simo_UK Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 What have you done to your 981 today? Let my wife drive! Had a shoulder op a few weeks ago so I'm off driving for a while and the car needed a run out. Pleased to report the car survived, alloys intact.

daz05 Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Realised my front ps4s tyres must now be scrubbed in, they felt great. I had them fitted over winter during so limited opportunity to use them until recently. I had way more feel at the front vs the P-zero it's nice to have some feedback, the car felt great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kharma45 Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Mulling over winter tyres. Found a set for a not unreasonable price (shipping shouldn't be too bad) but tyre age not in their favour. From the middle of 2014 and might be a bit on the old side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wide berth. 8 years old before you are even using them and manufacturers typically recommend replacing tyres around 7 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're driving a sports car worth 10s of thousands and want to drive it in poor winter conditions. Pay the extra £300, or whatever, for new tyres... Tyres, particularly winter ones, are not an area to economise on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Winter tyres seem to last ages, well past what you would normally expect. I think mine are 2012 and the rears are only just getting to a stage where I would consider replacing them as the depth is getting down to about 4.5mm Stored in the shed away from any sunlight and only used for 4-5 months of the year. No cracking or any such worries. I think the winters on my old 986 were 3rd hand and a similar age too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be raising with the OPC for their take I presume the are the P Zero N0 tyres? If so notoriously cr*p and they crack - avoid these completely. P Zero N1 tyres are an improvement, but not as good as Michelin PS4S all round.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
