Well just had the front tyres replaced on the Tempest (auto) after 22000 mls, had to go through kwik-fit because its a motabillity car and after a week of searching (so they said-hummm) they could only get Nexens so Nexens it is then. Bit strange after they managed to fit a Bridgestone last year as I had a rear puncture, told me they are no longer available. Me thinks maybe the Nexen is just a cheaper option.
