Just having some new boots on and I've been told the p600s that are on my 5s are the originals 1989!! Jesus!! But side walls are badly cracked must have been standing for a while...new uniroyals £45ea not bad..
Tune up rolling road tomoz hopefully supporting mods will see a bhp increase..2" straight through..k&n panel..double intercooler..on standard boost though what you rekon bhp ??
Engines got 66k on it.

I thought all the 5 turbos came with Michelin MXV`s as standard. I know back in the day when my Michelin`s got bald they were £120 a corner, so I went for P600`s which were more like £60. Uniroyals were loads cheaper but the P600s seemed to give me more grip than the Michelin but didnt last as long.

I know tyres have a date code on them, so im guessing thats how the garage knew how old they were.
