Car tyre and battery change

At close to 50,000km and 27 months, the Good Year Eagle F1 Asymmetric tyres have worn off quite badly at the edges although the general tread is still deep.

So, for safety in cornering and handling on wet roads, we changed the tyres, to the same model. The stock from Arrow Tyres is from Germany and marked 1815 (made in April 2015!) very new. At $155.00 each, the price is good for our 225/45/17.

At Arrow, the Amaron 55B24R is selling at $100.00 each, so we also changed it at the same time. The previous battery lasted 31 months with no problems at all, but being close to 3 years, we can change it. We will probably stretch this battery unit until we scrap the car at 10 years.
