Well my TPMS warning light was on this morning again. I checked the rear offside tyre which had been down on pressure a couple of weeks ago and it was slightly soft. Repressurised everything was good. This tyre was soft a couple of weeks ago so must have a very slow puncture. As the tyres were checked on service  on Friday it must be a very slight leak.

Both rear tyres last week at service were deemed to be a little low on tread -scuffed on inside of both rears  and N/S down to 3mm in middle and rear o/s 3.9mm in middle. since then I have covered a further 600 miles.

I visited my local tyre guru who quoted £400 to replace rears like for like (Dunlop Sport Maxx). That would mean in a couple of months ( 4,000 miles) ,when the fronts needed changing another £400 to keep everything matched. total £800.

He priced a few others and came up with the Michelin Primacy 4 which is a new model at £650 for four. In addition there is an offer with Michelin where they put £50 on a prepaid visa card for you if you buy 4 tyres bringing the cost down to £600.

He reckons the new Primacy is a great tyre and is' A 'rated for wet grip.

On that basis I have ordered a set as the Dunlops are original and have now covered 30,500 miles so I can't complain.

Will keep you updated when fitted as to their performance.

I thought I had a slow puncture but it turned out to be corrosion on the inner wheel so not a perfect seal now all sorted & cleaned by a mate a Kwik fit FOC :yahoo:

That's interesting. I had a slow puncture on my rear nearside tyre last year. Was told it was a nail in the sidewall so bought a new tyre. Still have a slow puncture on the same wheel just not as quick. Maybe have the same issue! How much did it cost to sort out?
