Tyres

Or I can nip into a 'tyre-shop' and buy them, but I don't know if these exist. Do you think these would be much cheaper than going into Kwik Fit/budget etc and…

I read the manual and it says that every 2000 miles the car will need topped up by about 500ml, which is what I do. We get the oil changed during its service and the…
