Default Vectra Diesel tyres

can't believe it.. I'm getting quoted about a ton a piece for a car that struggles to move without extreme provocation, struggles to corner full stop and has less power than most hair dryers..

may as well buy the missus a sports car.. feck it, she can have the S and i'll get a fartblood.

ridiculous collusion between tyre manufacturers and oem's.

It's because of that massive high performance tourque. You know, they're faster in-gear than the space shuttle.

my vectra diesel would absolutely p1ss on his M3 in gear times.. the loser.

imagine paying good money for the tyres on a car that can't do 30-40 in 5th in less than 3s.

what a wally.



i'm taking the plunge and paying SO2 prices. then selling the car and buying something that moves..
