I had them on my C, brilliant tyres imo, stuck well to the road and had quite a long life so

Same, had when I got it, and replaced them with Eagle F1's, which I thought were junk, and now I'm back to SP 9000's, which IMO are a much better tyre.

With the F1's the car would wheel spin coming out of junctions with minimal throttle, whereas the Dunlops just stick and go, a lot more grip, wet or dry.

I wouldn't panic just yet, as long as all 4 have good tread I can't see a problem. Might have just got a puncture.

Marc, the yoko is brand new, its because the car was in an accident, which damaged the rim. rim was replaced with a brand new one, along with a new tyre

meh its perfect, car sits straight as a die when i take hands off the wheel when moving, tramlines a tad, but i will have to get used to that. the camry used to go over foot deep potholes and you wouldnt even know it

standard equipment on veccy B GSi iirc. Had sets on both my V6 vectras and quite impressed by them. They get favourable reviews as well if you search on the net and they are not that expensive.
