Had GS-D3s on the rear uptill last Saturday and now have Toyos all round. There was about 4mm of tread left on the Goodyears but I have never been so glad to get tyres off a car. Don't know if it was due to the LSD, very little weight in the rear, torque comming in so low down or what but the regular step out even in the dry was getting dodgy, a problem I never had before changing from Toyos or since fitting them again and I have tried to get it out just in case it was something else but they are okay.

Tyre choice is always down to the individual and how they use them and a lot depends on where they are made as one country may have a different rubber compound to another, P7s jump to mind, so ther is always a degree of trial and error.

Well, I opted in the end for Goodyear F1 GS-D3s all round, costing £370 fitted and balanced from Protyre in Bristol. Tramlining effectively gone. Less noise. Very happy.  :y
