i loved my rainsports on my corsa, were awesome.
i just want the fronts to match the back 
to be fair, some of the tyre wear was caused by scrubbage from lowering

My toyos last 13k miles on the LCR before I had to swap them over, its the grip that was shit on them
My mate has the new goodyear F1s on his LCR and the Falkens on mine grip better and he agrees

I wore two front tyres down in less than 3k in a 12v but the tracking was so far out it was visible that one wheel pointed the other way.
This was on steelies and I had just passed my test so all i cared about was driving.

Excellent. I don't require any at the moment but I'm pleased to see I have another option other than having my pants truelly pulled down.

I did drive it like a joyrider when I first passed though.
You should have felt how it drove, got avon zv3 on now and have done about 2k on them with no visible wearing yet, but the tracking is sorted thankfully.
