The Vredestein's are a amazing tire but the wear is terrible.

Falkens are also worth a look, I have used them in the past all ok.

I'm running falken 452's at the moment, in the dry they are excellent especially with the heat we've got at the moment. However in the wet they're pretty bad :undecided:

The ZE912 is a lot better in the wet.

Goodyear F1s are awesome tyres dry or wet but they do wear quickly and are absolutely useless in the snow.

I'm swaying towards Rainsports when need to replace as they are slightly cheaper. Had them on a previous car found them to be decent in the dry and plenty of grip in the rain which given our climate is unfortunately most of the time  :grin:
