Cool so I finally received my tires and F%&K me they are sticky! They are an awesome tire for the price and level of grip they provide not only in the dry but also the wet

I cant give a comparison as to how quick they are as i haven't tracked my car yet, but bang for buck these tires are awesome
I dont care that my laces aren't fat or that I'm not even close to flush and I certainly don't want to be the illest!

My NT-01's arrived as well, finally. They're on the car and got an alignment done as well, will see how they compare to my 3 year old R888's next month. The price was great but buying through Ozzy Tyres was the worst retail experience I've ever had, what a useless bunch of %@#$. They don't reply to any communication and it's one line of bull after the next when you call them. 2 months to get tyres that were according to their website in stock when I ordered and paid for them.

BAHAHAHAHA WOW someone else feels my pain, on top of all of that they tried to charge me to get them fitted after I was told they would be fitted for free!! Cant fault the tires though very good!!

Among other things they told me that they had refunded my money (which they hadn't) and that they would put the tyres to one side until this was sorted. When they finally figured out they still had my money, they then informed me that they had put the wrong tyres to one side and were again out of stock. USELESS! I hope you checked that you're wheel nuts were tight after they fitted the tyres :lol:

I think Ozzy tyres get confused by wheels that aren't 20 inch chromed boat anchors.
