Default Tires and Monkeys.
Having some swopped around tomorrow on my spare Elise set.

Whats the chances they dont damage any rims or balance them
correctly (as in get the red dots right to start with) and that I
dont have to kick off like last time some young cock f****d
up.

I dread this more than anything on my cars and i've pre warned
them what I expect


Russ.

All good for a change. Took the weights off myself as usual, ever looked
on in horror when the monkey pries them off with a screwdriver!

Yes, but particularly pampered and pristine.

Oh really?

Didn't know that - I thought Advan Neova were the preferred choice by Lotus for the Elise and A048s for the Exige.
