A sports touring will be as good as a sports for the road and last a fair bit longer.

Re: New tyre advice needed?
you live in scotland m8, it will rain at the flick of a switch. sports tyres take a bit of time to heat up and you generally have to keep the heat in them to get the best out of them.
Avon Storms were ace on the SV in dry or wet. the Storm 2's are reported to be even better and last longer. |
