Re: Eco contact 6 factory fitted - awful tyres
I have eco contact 6 factory fitted 235 50 R19v and I have done 13,000 miles and I still have about 2mm above the wear indicator remaining. I will be replacing with the same tyres when the time comes I have had no problems whatsoever with the michelins.

Re: Spare Wheel fixing issue
Hello, I had exactly the same problem, see my original post on this. I complained to my dealer who gave me the supposed to be the correct fitting but this was no good.
