When you fit new tyres to one axle of a FWD car, they should be fitted to the rear, or you end up with handling behaviour as you've experienced

Good advice, even if your rears are only 300 miles old, it's surprising how much extra grip the rain sports give in the wet, especially if you plan on driving with a bit of flare. The track car has got a set of rain sports for the wet but have been luck enough not to need them up to press

I need some tyres for my coupe so they will be wearing rainsports I think...

I fitted the Rainspot 3's to both the Banana and The Bear. Great grip in the wet. The only downside I found is that they wear out very quickly. Ok, so I do a lot of mileage so naturally the tyres will wear. I only got 4,000 miles out of the rears on the Bear.

With Banana I have switched back to Continental M3's, and will do the same with the Bear as and when tyres are needed. I know they are not a cheap tyre but they do last a fair time, plus I get a good deal from my local tyre shop.

I’ve used camskill for as long as I can remember. Always received good service and very quick delivery.

Bob - maybe you need to get you tracking checked...? You should be getting more then 4K on the back!

With 400bhp on tap and no traction control is why the tyres wore out so quick. And the tracking is spot on.
