    Vredestien Sportrac 2's - on recommendation from UnclePete - and very good they have been to...far better than the Michelin DitchFinders I had on before...

    Vredestein Wintrac Extremes! I like to be an individual. I love Vredestein more than any other (and like my rubber). Proxes in the summer just because Beastlee had them on, and they're actually very good in the wet.

    Dick - your last tyres were Pirelli P6000s, that's why they were ditch finders - it doesn't get much worse (although they are usually good for the first 50 miles to be fair).
    No more VR-4s left. It's all over.

    (although not so happy with them – less than 1 month old now and I can still wheel spin in 1st - 3rd gear even in the dry – handling is better than the slicks I had though he he...)

    I always go for a known budget brand cos unless im on a track there is only a marginal difference in grip when on the road and i cant see the point in spending loads of money on tyres to replace them so soon after fitting them if it was my g/f's fiesta then b/stones or g/year cos their cheap!

    i have 235/45/17 nexen 3000 £32.70 on the front and 255/40/17 nexen 3000 £41.20 on the rear this way i can drive like an animal if i want without caring about tyre wear and these nexens grip just as much as the yoko's and toyo proxies i had before the only tyre i have had that was better was a slick but there illegal! awaome on the track though!

    Just ordered 2 x Goodyear F1 XL Asymmetrics to go on the front - I hear the XLs have stiffer side walls. At the moment I've got Goodyear F1 GSD3s on the back so good to see how the Asys perform on the front.

    My Mitsubishis: 1980 Sigma 2.0 GLX | 1990 Galant 2.0 GLSi | 2003 Galant 2.5 V6-24V Elegance

    If they're the LM002's such as I had on my car, I found the outside edge of tread on the fronts wore down quickly - probably due to enthusiastic cornering.

    As for the tyres themselves - they were speed rated to 240km/h but apart from that nothing particularly special.
