Hoover. said: ^^^^ just speak to your insurance company most will accept V rated (front and rear) Been running Kumho V70A's for the last three years, great tyres but this year just purchased some Toyo R1R's (today) due urgency of needing legal tyres  I don't know Kumho V70A's . I presume it is a tire only for competition - circuit racing and not for a everyday use ?

No one has mentioned Yokohama s-drives, 205 55 R15 W. Are these such a no-no? Probably only done 300mls
on my new fronts so far but seem well behaved.

A Belgian dealer advises this Yokohama tire for the front and Bridgestone S02 with speed rating Z for the rear but the pattern will be different...

Bridgestone RE002 Adrenalin ?????? no idea if they will work with the car though By the way, I found by chance on e-bay a garage whitewalthamgarage.co.uk in Berkshire - White Waltham Garage Waltham Road, White Waltham - near Maidenhead, Berks who says he could provide me with Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin in 15' and 16'. For sure, it would be great BUT I don't find this pattern in these sizes on the E.U. Bridgestone website (?). Only on the Australian Bridgestone website.It seems strange. Too risky or not ? ![](http://thumbsnap.com/t/WM4PqUMz.jpg[/img]</a> <a href="http://thumbsnap.com/WM4PqUMz" Target="_blank">[img]http://thumbsnap.com/t/WM4PqUMz.jpg[/img]</a> <a href="http://thumbsnap.com/95fig0A5" Target="_blank">[img]http://thumbsnap.com/s/95fig0A5.jpg)

BUT knowing how these car handle I personally would want same tyre type all round..... I've tried (by error) car with same make, diff tyre type and whenI got the car diff makes on front and rear and on both occasions the back wanted to over take the rear at evry opportinity,,,,,, when I change tyres I change all round.... its my fun toy, so I dont want to comprimise my fun

OP, I happen to be using the bridgestone s02 back/yoko s-drive front combo your Belgian dealer tipped and about 600miles in now, am happy with the grip levels (no step-outs yet, but I don't really want to fully explore the envelope, it's too precious). Personally I'd say front/back pattern disparity is unimportant, of more relevance would be grade of rubber and sidewall stiffness. One encouraging aspect of these yokos is the generous central tread channels, to counter the dreaded aquaplane.
