Tyres (again)

[Ace-T]

So my Falkens were great through the summer, but now the roads are getting wetter and greasier they have completely changed character. Yesterday I did the second slowest 4 wheel drift ever (the slowest being in a golf cart with Rude Girl, but that is a different story! ) at 20mph round a roundabout. While it was fun, it was not intentional and just showed how crap my tyres are in the wet.

Now I wanted to go for Yokohamas next but as I do circa 12k miles a year I suspect I will have to replace them at least twice . I have been recommended Dunlop Super sports but I just wondered if you chaps had ever used them and if so what were your thoughts?

Cheers

The chap who was looking out for some tyres for me has called me and recommended Dunlop Aquajets at £69 a corner He also says that the Yoko A008s are great in the dry, ok in the wet and lethal in snow. He has also said that I can go and try his car out on the Dunlops.

Now I don't want to skimp on tyre safety but at the same time I dont want to fork out £280 for a set of tyres I know nothing about so am reluctant to take him up on his offer. LM are these the same Aquajets that you mention? Are they any good?

Oh and you are so right about the Falkens after a bit of wear!
