However I was already there so went ahead with it. Had I known I could have offered them to a forum member.

My 275/315 20 inch non runflats on my X5 took less than an hour.

My toe was also way out apparently.

Rant over, to the tyres:

Comfort: Only mild improvement
Grip: cornering is improved a great deal, I also find that there is not as much body roll
Traction: from a dig, much improved, much less wheelspin.

Overall am happy with the initial results but the 3 hr wait was a bit excessive I think.
I will pass it on to David next time I see him. Forgot to mention only speak to Andrew or David - the rest had no idea.

Should have dropped in to my shop - I think MattyV was there too, he dropped his card in my shop today. I would have come down and entertain ya .
