| Re: Newbie - 406 Coupe V6 Owner Hi Rudymanz and may I wish you a warm welcome to TorqueCars - its nice to have you along. (If you were wondering where you post was it was held in the moderation queue because it contained pics/links and you had less than 10 posts.)
Really nice car - I love the look of the 406 Coupes. You have some nice alloys on that - I bet the tyres cost a fortune.

| Re: Newbie - 406 Coupe V6 Owner Thanks mate. Yeah I guessed that (good move with all the spam posts on forums nowadays  )
Thanks again, the tyres are not THAT bad, approx £90 each for Kumhos or approx £150 each for Toyo Proxes. Im currently using Toyo Proxes and they are great  but I may give the Kumhos a go when I need to replace them as if there nearly as good as the Toyos then I may start using them as they are £60 less than the Kumhos which is a saving of £240 on a set of 4 |

| Re: Newbie - 406 Coupe V6 Owner I rate the Eagle F1's have you thought of trying these out? Don't know what the price is for your wheel size though. |

| Re: Newbie - 406 Coupe V6 Owner I cant even find any goodyears in my size 
I just checked prices and they have gone up, Kumhos £95 each and Toyos £170 each so I will definitely give the Kumhos a go next |

| Re: Newbie - 406 Coupe V6 Owner Yeah I would agree, but the fact it wasnt designed by Peugeot reveals why lol
Yeah a lot of people say that lol you either love them or you hate them but most of the time the people who say they dont like them change their mind once they see the wheels on the car in the 'flesh' |

| Re: Newbie - 406 Coupe V6 Owner I believe Anthony has shoehorned another 3.0 V6 engine into his coupe since he was last here! It's an awesome looking and sounding machine, twin 3.0 V6! What an engineering feat! Much respect to him for doing it and doing it so well! |

| Re: Newbie - 406 Coupe V6 Owner I certainly do, as an IT professional and someone who has set up and professionally hacked a number of forums/CMS solutions I completely understand
To get around it, I'll suggest going to youtube and doing a search for "RuDyMaNz" videos.
Job done and no nasty links for potential spammers (yuck - spam!) |
