Yeah I do use it as daily, I was told 22 psi is a tad bit much for the iron casted pistons and it was inevitable to fail

I also love those tyres. One thing though. Get Ding King to fix that rear door.
I think I will miss the tq will definitely look into ding king when I get the car back, everybody notices that bloody dent ! some bastard must of open their door on me whilst in shopping centre carpark, came back and saw it that way

yeah these tyres cost me an arm and leg, the next day I got them brand new I popped one of them and had to get it replaced >< its funny how people notice them after I color in the potenza with some chalk haha

Thanks rexpected !!! Yeah I guess you could say I gave it the occasional thrash, hopefully after this 2.0 I don't get as much dramas. Driving along one day and coolant starts to piss out on the passenger side, heater core gone ? it's not even that old.... *sigh dash had to come out

LOL 2psi is too much for a 257.........

Hot looking ride mate and great/smart choice on going the 207 instead of another 257.
