I know, I really need to get them changed.
The tires have plenty of meat on them as the car has only done 6,800 km / 4225 miles but they are definitely aged.
I'm terrified of the tire fitter jacking up my perfect, un-marked rims. I had that happen on the XR6 when I had new tires fitted so I suppose I'm a bit gun shy.

I know that feeling. When I fitted the 18s to the impulse blue SV6 I put up in a previous post, I had it booked in for a service a week later. When I dropped it off, I told the Service Manager that the wheels were brand new, be VERY careful. Did that happen, nope. 3 of the 4 wheels had paint chipped around the holes for the wheel nuts, 2 or 3 on each one. Of course they paid to have them fixed, and gave me a lone car for a whole week while it was done.
Here's a pic from this just now, clean, fresh air now the storm has passed.

I'm sure you can not only find a really good place but I find a "lunch tip" can help things along too

Big Dave, 2 inches of rain in 20 minutes? Now that’s some Forrest Gump rain! Any flooding?

It stayed about an inch deep in the backyard overnight. And water was still dripping out of the garage door when I opened it yesterday. I can't figure out where it's hiding, but at least it's less each day. The wind was so strong, the pot plants at the front of the house spun 90 degrees sideways. Very weird.

Although, maybe that would help accelerate the need to get some Michelin PS4S's. This car still wears it's factory fitted Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tires, widely regarded as truly terrible in containing the grunt on tap. After nearly 7 years, these things are even worse now. The traction control flashes in 3rd gear, pointing in a straight line!
Wish we had these stateside. Ford robbed us again. Between Falcons and all the awesome Holden models Aussies arguably were more spoiled by US car manufacturers than people in the US. Lol

Hi everyone! New here. Here's my GLI after I gave it a rinseless wash last weekend and topped up the ~6 month old CQuartz with some Griot's 3-in-1 Ceramic. It's been parked in the garage most of the week cause it's been raining and I didn't want to undo my work, lol.
