I actually prefer the new storm fronts as I think it's a bit steeper profile than old uns. Though they have always worn cupped for me, never in 4k though.

I have never got mega mega miles out of them really, depends a lot on suspension. The penske rear added about 3k (from average 5 to . They do what they say on the tin and are really decent in the wet.


They are probably a bit old hat now but I'll take something that works over going mad to buy "this seasons colours" any day!

Sports rubber is for mugs. You want tyres that are crap in the wet and don't last? Buy race scrub supercorsas for £40 a pair then!
