damn my tyres are rubbish, the car felt like it was going to slide away from me 3 times today in the wet, got a set of marshalls on. only put on as the offset is wrong for the car mine is et46 and didnt want to pay out for expensive tyres to find that they still hit the arches, but the size i got is ok but now im looking forward to wearing my tyres out so i can put a descent set ot F1's on the car. and really push my car to some conering limits as at the moment im stil not imprezaed, also im going to get the geometry set so ive got no excuses when the car is done

Think you may have a job wearing those tyres out
My Civic VTi came with a set on the front, they are so hard that after 6000 wheel spinning miles there seems to be more tread than when I got them!
I hate to throw 2 'good' tyres away but I need some decent rubber for the winter; don't think I even fancy putting those on the back.

Can recomend the F1 though. Fantastic grip on the Scooby.

my scoob has the F1's one - a massive improvement over the Bridgestone Potenza's that were on it, there's a lot less tramlining now.

As for the wet - I don't know. Since I got them put on about 2-3 months ago It's barely rained! Sunshine all the way since I bought my scoob in March - was at the car wash about 2 weeks after I bought it and I said to the girlfriens that I didnt know if the wipers worked yet...

I bought them on the basis that they are supposed to be brilliant in the wet - cos I hate wet weather driving, had a couple of hairy moments when its been bucketting down (1 self inflicted).

I suppose I should say that I can't wait until it rains to give to see how good they are, but praying for rain in this country isn't natural is it?

The sun always shines on my scoob...
