TBF Phil, they look like 1993 Michelin Energies that've been left in the sun for the last 7 years... Then driven round a mediocre corner at some speed once...

Lol, each to their own I guess! I'm too tight to be paying out for tyres lol.
Will agree about rainsports and cornering though, mine squeal like hell at reasonable speeds and have also worn a lot on the edges without a track day lol.....they're only 6 months old, tracking done at the same time so its just corners killing them. Expected a lot more from them after people raved about them on here lol. Cant fault the wet grip though.

You cannot call yourself a LAD, this has to be done by someone else.
You know; by international bevving rules, self diagnosing LAD status, would be counted as arrogance. Therefore you should have to take a punishment set by your piers/judge should there be one in place.
I reckon Edward Cider Hands should be a fitting forfeit.
Don't spill any mind, 'cos spillage is snortage!
