you gotta wonder how someone that can afford a £13K+ car can't afford half decent £100 a corner tyres. When I bought my civic it had those crappy "i've never heard of them before" tyres on front and back, sure enough first sign of a wet road and the car was nervous as hell. You just can't stick tyres made by some guy in his garden shed in yugoslavia on a car with 180bhp. Stuck some BFG's on each corner and woah, what a difference! And no i don't want to start an arguement of which is the best kind of tyre!!!
