Just 'cause you said that.....
Cooper CS5 Grand Tourings (205-55-16) A T rated, quality tire. They have a "mileage guarantee" of 80,000 miles. I had CS4's on my previous car and loved them. Total price with taxes, disposal, m&b...$142.25 each That's £107.33. What's the expected (advertised) life of your tyre and what did you pay for them?

As orvlongevity- I don't know. Some claim 15000, some claim 30000.
Pricewise- around £60 each. Never mind that. As I started to write this, sitting with idling engine- don't ask why, the engine started to producecsoubd best described as "thudding". With shakes. Opened hood- engine shaking. By ear- every revolution producing single thud. I was about half a mile from home, made it on energency lights/10mph/rev max 1000. Made it. That's half success Now I need to find out what is it. I've got mere 2 weeks to either fix it or get new car (financially impossible) before " the big trip"

With 2 weeks on the clock I'd suggest having your codes read.
You could look to engine mounts or something out of line with your belts / pulleys. |

Today...
I replaced faulty ignition coil. And 5 minutes later found out that I have a screw in one of tyres. Fixed as well.

Mine does
And also warns me if something is a "pass" but may need doing over next few months. I think I'll pop in soon so he can check underside for me- between official MOTs, but I'll rather be safe than sorry.. Got 2 weeks to make sure she'll go few thousand miles next month.
