Dunlop Sport Maxx RT, 235/45/17

Not down to wear markers yet (but close), but outside edge is probably illegal

I put them same tyres on my TXS last summer (July), and noticed when putting the winter wheels on (Oct) how far down they had gotten, so my guess might be tainted!  :D

Must say though that the grip is astoundinging in either wet or dry conditions, but I don't fancy having to put on 2 sets a year!  :'(

Even when bald as a badgers backside, even in this wet.

May help explain that little misbehave last weekend though, hacking at around a roundabout.
