You've done 15k miles on a set of rear tyres on a TVR?! You're an embarrassment laugh. You've let us down, you've let yourself down.... wink If you check on the front page of the Owner's manual - PW DEFINITELY says that you should be driving everywhere like your hair's on fire. I think that's what it means anyway....

Hope the next set don't last you as long laugh

9 years on a set of front tyres!!!

You should sell your car immediately to a proper owner. Go get yourself a Lotus.

Woah, woah. Nobody is suggesting you should drive fast. You should drive appropriate to the conditions. It's just that the conditions surrounding "exiting the pub car park", "making due and proper progress through a deserted industrial estate" and "resuming autoroute speed following any and all stupid peage barriers" are NOT consistent with tyres lasting longer than a US presidential term.... wink

Starting to wish you'd kept this one to yourself?!! laugh

That's about as convincing as Dr Cripping's defence lawyer ... you need to grow a pair! wink or swop your 350 out for a MX5 or MGF;)
