I thought given the current weather condition, that tires would be a good subject to discuss.
So about the title, sound sort of silly? Not when you know the full details. So a friend of mine calls me and says hey my wife was at Sam Mart Club ( the names have been changed to protect the innocent) and they had a Michelin tire sale, buy 4 tires for $300.00. I said, "Wow! that sounds like a great price, but what are you looking for?" Michelin tires for a cheap price or good Michelin tires at the right price? He said What’s the difference? Which maybe what some of you are asking.
Here’s the difference…. It is true that Michelin or other big brand name tire manufactures make all different types (and quality) of tires. But just because that brand name is on the side doesn’t make it a great tire. Store brand tires are made to meet a certain price standard. The tires you buy at garages like Cars for Keeps are made to meet a quality standard.
So if price is the only issue then we can get tires that match that. If quality and a fair price is more for you, then we can differently solve that issue.
Anyway enough from me, I hope all of you have a safe and happy holiday season.
Your friendly neighborhood service manager,

Arash AF-10 is a sleek 7-litre engine that produces a power output of around 550 brake hp, and can roar at the top speed of 330 km/h or 205 mph, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. Arash Motor Company was born out of a passion for cars, the allure of beauty and the ecstasy of driving the seemingly endless acceleration of a thoroughbred engine. The engine, or better still, the soul of the Arash AF10 is designed to withstand the punishment of motor racing and we are sure it will excite even the most accomplished of drivers.
It has a lightweight of 1,260 kilogram’s but with built-in stiffness advantages, the Arash AF-10 features a body made of carbon fibre with Honeycomb and Nomex sandwiches, and 6-speed gearbox from Grazianno Trasmissioni. Additionally, all uprights have been internally designed to fit AP Racing 6-pot carbon ceramic discs and callipers, though floor mounted pedals offer a racing feel, better ‘heel and toe’ control and good foot spacing in the ?drivers area.
100 percent carbon construction also aluminum honeycomb and nomex panels for sandwich strength. Rear window and driver to engine compartment window made of non shatter and scratch resistant plastic. Front windows as well as side windows are constructed of laminated glass. The entire body parts have been constructed by the carbon autoclave process of eliminating excess resins through pressure and heat to make parts lighter and stiffer than ever constructed.
The engine features all-aluminium, titanium conrods, and forged pistons along with crank shaft. Hand assembled engine by General Motors (GM) USA Michigan. It has 550bhp and 555nm torque and exceptional power from a lightweight unit. Emissions are one of the best in the world.7 litre capacity. Dry sumped, separate oil cooling and fly by wire throttle. The Company has designed a traditionally shaped badge with an eagle emblem. The background color is solid black and the foreground eagle is in gold. The emblem of Arash Motor Company’s is in flame orange.
