Thanks D. Can anyone varify these as driving straight for Mr Dbug? Sure they are but we need two members. Unless I've missed a previous post?

they drive straight.. I bought for a friend , but compound sacrificed for low consumption and long life..  I found braking and cornering inadequate for nutters like me
 
size I tried was 215 55 16 on a chinese SUVish..

well I have just looked at my rear tyres and its time to replace at least one of them as were at the markers.
ill be taking off a budget which I have no idea how long its been on think mother fitted it in 2012 and a nexen 225/55/r16 which was fitted around 2011 not sure on its mileage life would have to check my files and there not currently with me. I have never had a problem with the nexen until the last 2000/3000 miles where the car would drift (backend ) in wet weather and it hates standing water as has been previously mentioned.

ill be replacing the tyres with the Runway Enduro 916+ 97W XL

Sorry, I cannot recommend a tyre that I have only driven for a couple of hundred miles at most, and that is almost on the wear marker when I started.

I was a tad late going to Pristine Wheels, needed to pick up the wheel before they closed, so was a bit frisky. I would say they do exhibit bum clenching understeer on fast sweepers. But given the wear, and the balancing (lack of), thats to be expected. Counter to that, they gave me the confidence to at least try.

P6000 is obselete as well? I know we couldn't get them in Rover size - they were superb on the Rover. Superb.
