MGTF Tyres and service

[WayneF]

It's time for a new set of tyres for Monty (135 Cool Blue) and after going dizzy reading various forums I have decided on these:

Front: Falken ZEIX ZE310 Ecorun 195/45 R16 84V

Rear: Falken ZEIX ZE310 Ecorun 215/40 R16 86W

£275 all in

Can anyone yay or nay those please?

Also I would be really grateful of recommendations for MGTF friendly service garages near Alcester?

Thanks in advance.

For the garage recommendation, i recommend and personally use Austin Garages Near Burton upon Trent.

I use MG Obsession 01283 529914 Matt is the owner, excellent service good prices. What he & his mechanic Tim don't know about MGF's & MGTF's isn't worth knowing lots of quality used spares as well as new parts. Great café over the road.

Cheers

Forgot to say based in Swadlincote near Burton on Trent.

Thank you Mike, I will look them up, but Swadlincote is over an hour away.

I'm hoping someone will know someone a little closer to me. Cafe over the road is a bonus though

Upmarket quality Café

Thanks Colin.
It seems Burton on Trent has more than its fair share of MG friendly garages!

I've been using Austin Garages for probably 10 years or so, maybe longer. I know people who travelled from overseas to them as well on a yearly basis

Is there an upmarket quality cafe nearby?

I go there for a proper quality job, not for coffee

I have those sizes of Falken ZE914's and have found them excellent.

The upmarket Café is just over the road, just the job while you wait for your car to be attended to. The Café is a real bonus while a proper Quality Job is being undertaken!!!!!!

Coffee is always important but the job in hand is of paramount importance

Sorry, know nothing about ZE130's

Ali has E310's on the rear of her TF160 (with 914's on the front), fitted several months ago.
Can't say I have noticed any difference from the 914's that were on it before.
I'll be putting set of 310's on my TF later in the year.

Hi all

Just to throw a thought into the mix. I read somwhere that a number of people on their TF's have put the same size tyres all-round with no ill effects! I suspect these would be the rear tyres.

Any thoughts or experience?

Thanks Steve,

I see you are in Rugby, do you have a preferred service garage?

[Steve White]

Have a local garage that does very basic spannering.
For the rest, including servicing, I normally use Austin Garages which is a little over an hour away form us.
We tend to drop a car off on a Saturday and pick it up the following Sat, or sometimes collect the 1st car and drop off a 2nd

Thank you.
