I just paid $NZ 443 for ONE Michelin assymetric tyre fitted and balanced. 
Should be good for 
80,000 km. Forget the exact model, but it is road with reasonable off-road 
ability.

I prefer to follow the principle that applies when you are running your own 
boat - you can't get 
out and walk, so it had better be reliable, and where this can not be covered, 
have your own 
fixit gear..

Maggie had a failure of her *new* Beemer in central Dunedin. As he son was 
driving it 
through lights, it failed totally. He got across. 2 hour wait in the cold.

Roadside rescue, 24 hours and extra night in the motel and $844 later she had a 
new fuel 
filter and lift pump in the under-rear-seat fuel tank.

No way could she have foreseen that one.
