Title: Advan Neova Jap Rubber & MOT
Post by: Matt_K on September 18, 2007, 08:46:49 AM
Stupid question ahoy...

Firstly, yes they are getting replaced before it goes on the road.. I don\'t fancy crashing my car for the sake of a £250 pair of tyres.

I\'ve replaced the two fronts as they were down to the wear marks, But I just wanted to know will the two rear\'s get me through a MOT? They are virtually brand new, so no worries about tread depth. But because their Jap will they be ok?

Next tuesday it\'s going over to Pip\'s for a compression test, re-map and then on for a MOT... obviously I don\'t wanna take it to fail on something silly. Any MOT testers on here?

Cheers, Matt

Yes mate, i have some on mine and they are nigh impossible to get hold of in the uk. I have Neova AD07 fitted and even though they are jap they still grip like a bear, but only in the dry! To buy they are around £222 each!!! :eek

Does sound very funny when alot of people says that Jap tires are rubbish.. Since Bridgestone,Advan,Yoko all come from Japan... :P
