Looking good!

I agree with Blue 540...keep the damn things clean by not braking very often. But then again I`m not in a v8 so I`m a wee bit safer. PS: I`m getting my front pads and rotors done next week by my local garage...( Victoria Street Motors in ChCh ...ask for Kev ) I`m going to try ceramic pads on Kev`s recommendation.. I don`t mind cleaning bird sh*t off my car once a week but doing the front wheels on a Sunday and having them buggered two days later is driving (!) me nuts.

Looks good man

Supercat is Bridgestone/Firestone not Michelin & is classed their entry level touring tyre (according to their website anyway) so i would think that they arent far off the intended application as you've described it. Personally i dont think you have a leg to stand on if you didnt specify what they replaced them with. And to be fair, if they were really trying to cheap out, im sure they could have found some chinese no name brand tyres for even less. At least Firestone are prepared to sell them through their own network.....

Unless type / make of tyre replacement was originally agreed to during the negotiations, I don't think theres much you can do really, as the dealer has honoured what they said they'd do by fitting 'new set of tyres' - what they have fitted meets NZTA legislative requirements, & at least they're not a triangle or Ling-long or some other nasty brand.....
