Had goodyear eagle ventures on before, very hard but wore well. I go everyware at 80, and chuck it about. They took a lot of abuse, if I could get them again I would. Got falklins on front, will get same for the back.

Good! Those tyres were bloody hopeless - a 2.2 shouldn't wheelspin like that, or lose the back end as easily.  On the upside, mucho fun to be had :y
