What did you do to your Polo today?

[Blitzen]

Just took the car for a quick strap... Loving this cooler air down here!! The car is loving it!

How'd they get you in the first place? Did you attract their attention, random pullover or an organised roadside check?

What tyres did you get (I'm looking)?

[PeterHBne]

They are cheap - $137 per corner is good. I rang a dealer today who (as they all always seem to) rubbished these tyres and said they were no longer available here (they once sold them). Most people in the tyre post seem to like them and quite a few have them/tried them...........

What are they?

[PeterHBne]

Marangoni Zeta Lineas.

That's what I have, came with wheels.

I think they are poor in the wet, seem to have average grip over all. Considering changing to KU31's down the line... I don't know tyres very well, but they were good on the TT rims and was able to get them very cheap last time.

How the hell did you get them that cheap??!!
Did I get ripped off at $170 a corner? I thought getting them
anywhere below $200 was decent?

Unlucky enough to stop next to the cop on busy intersection as him and his partner were tagging speeder, he noticed the scrub on my rear tyres and pulled me up, cops were actually alright.

kenada or something like that .... cheap only thing I could get on short notice 205/45/16s for some reason is not a size any of the tyre places around me stock, part of me be able to drive the car was that the tyres and wheels be fix within 24hours or it would have to be towed.

They seem alright no traction issues, but haven't taken the car out on a proper drive, just work and back so might show issues on the twisties

I was running these they were great, still a bit iffy when it was really wet but great in the dry, wore really well and took a lot of abuse without failing, the ones i too off still looked great aside from all the text on the side walls being scrubbed off

Received the rest if my bits...

The strut bearings I got look different



The parts are largely the same, diameters, thickness, etc all match, it seems to be the cosmetics that differ.

Should I be concerned?

They are some really, really **** house tyres. You might as well go wanli or nankang if you intend on using those.

Not being crude but they are terrible honestly. 2 friends had them on for under 1000kms and pulled them off. They are cheaper for a reason unfortunately.

even Zetum are better (made by kumho)

Could be just a revised item which is common.

You can pick up Kumho KU31's quite cheap, even KU36's from Option garage are quite a good price too

I really wouldn't be. They will be doing the same job, and so long as they fit properly, they should be fine.

Washed my car (again) to get rid of the shiraz smell after the Saturday communal grape pressing session (9N3 Polos + Suzuki Swifts + MX-5).

Nearly killed myself (+1 Range Rover) on Sat cruise as I found out the lack of top end for diesels, even tuned. + averaged 4.7l / 100km (indicated) on the fairly aggressive cruise

i enjoyed having a smoke whilst everyone scrambled to get their cars clean at the car wash, hahaha (but that's me... i like to sit back and enjoy the scenery on the highway stretches).

and yes. that Range Rover incident was F***ING SCARY
