What else do you do when your tyres are just about finished and the new ones are booked in to be put on, yes take the R8 Spyder and spin, spin, spin!

I've been recommended a few times to try out the new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres, rather than the stock Audi choice of Pirelli, so as my first tyres came to an end, I got a set in ready and decided to wave farewell to the old ones in the best possible way, with a little smoke! So far they seem absolutely fantastic but I'll report more on the change when I've clocked in a few miles but for some updates from Michelin UK, please hit like on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MichelinUK

The tyres were fitted at RTec Auto Design, with some of the latest equipment the team look after all sorts of performance cars right. https://www.facebook.com/RTecAutoDesign

My R8 has the 'Midnight Purple' wrap done by KIK Customs which gives it a great unique colour, not only is it protected better from stonechipping when convoying with other supercars but it really stands out too. Follow KIK and the latest cars they're working on here: https://www.facebook.com/kikcustoms1

The exhaust is not so stock, QuickSilver Exhausts put together some of the best sounding systems you'll ever hear, the one fitted to the back of my V10 is no different! https://www.facebook.com/QuickSilverExhausts

Thanks for watching, Tim
