New Boot's just been fitted, firstly i have to compliment the service from Steve @ eTyres, he arrived on time and took great care with my rims, also allowing me to take the pics below and as he owns an M3 we had an all round good chat about cars in general.

Any owners in Scotland can get Steve on 08456444360 or go to eTyres website for nationwide service at Home or Work.

Ok so enough of the kindness advertising, I was keen to see my old boots in the flesh and compare the treads and general wear, the rear offside (right) accross the five grooves were as follows 3/2/1/2/3 the nearside (left) was better marginally 3/2.5/2/2.5/3, the wear was even but dished accross both tyres.

I also took a few extra shots of the underside and I'm amazed how clean it all looks after a winter in Scotland, the 19' 172's look huge without their boots too.
