After 4 years, the original boots tore open
I got prices from dealer - South African rand - R 1 879.00
Searched for aftermarket, was advised it would not last as long as originals, got a set for R 285.00
The new rubber seems far thicker than original
At the price I paid, I can replace them every second year and I can do it for 12 years before I make up the money
Quite happy with quality, can't see why it's necessary to fit originals
