Crikey Emilio, that is a lot of tyre (tire) you have on your 30AE daily!

Drive nice though. They're Continental ECS which is just a 340 treadwear sport tire, not ultra high performance. So they're quiet and cushy. Combined with the semi-active shocks and lighter than OEM wheels, it is quite civil. Nice to look meaty and aggressive but not pay a ride quality penalty.

Me thinks the colour might have been more influenced by

Sky with
Diamonds

Remember the marmalade skies?

17's aren't large by today's standards. Bigger than older MX-5 models for sure.

Yup, even grocery getters have 17s nowadays. I gasp at 22s fitted to SUVs (and they still look tiny-ish).
