They're a road legal track tyre aint they?.
Probably only have that to get road legal status. I don't think they had Corsa's in mind when producing them

I dont think there designed with doing normal miles on them. Surely there meant for a track car to keep it legal to & from the event?

If you thought it was such a rip off then why'd you go ahead in buying it? No one to blame but your self really so no point in complaining.

You know Warren do you? Clearly not.
Is he going to use it on track? No, he just wants the tyres do do some burnouts down McDonalds.

gutted mate.
Please don't tell me you bought 195/50/15's too ?
I paid £50 a corner standard, and barely used mine - I'm considering taking them off and selling them nearly new for £150 as I've got 4 normal road tyres sitting in my garage.

i remember forking out 79 quid each for the 16's on mine. then looking at the tread and wondering where the money went to. then fitting them, then driving the car and finding out what grip in 2nd felt like again.
great tyres and although not much on them from new, for grip, theyre incredible.

I was replying to what Allan had said about them having the Corsa in mind. Adam_B posted his message while I was looking how much these tires usually go for.
