MB XR5 - 235/40x18, tyre pressures well maintained, genlt to engertic driving, accelerate smartly, 99% bitumen
OEM Continental ContactSport2 - afraid of the wet (aka deadly), good grip in the dry, tramlined badly, 32K kms, replacement cost around $400 each
Yokohama C-Drive - now have confidence in wet and dry, no tramlining (no wheel alignment after new tyres, just the new tyres fitted and problem solved), used these before on another vehicle and not disappointed, 10K kms on these and around 75% left, replacement cost $280 each
I found it was interesting that the rears wore almost as fast as the front (no rotations), unusual in a FWD car in my experience (in a 'no rotation' maintenance practice).
