Tyre choice ?
Anyone tried any other tyres? I only got 2000 miles from the Corsa rear, would like to try something else but don't want to compromise too much

That is cos everyone has their preference, quickest way to start a pub scrap is to chat about tyres and say someone elses are shit like johns 
Me I run Pirelli Scorpion Sync tractor tyres.
Great cold road and wet tyre, not ideal on the track as they overheat and get a little slimy but good for leaving front and rear darkies on the pavement.
These are them, more dual purpose that straight road, they don't mind shingle etc like roadies do.
