Mazda 323F 2.0 Sport Tyres

These tyres replaced Yokohama Advans all round and we've covered about 1,200 miles in them. They are quiet and comfortable and have never felt short of grip in wet or dry. With the Yokos we had severe tramlining; with the Falkens we have just reasonable feedback. I measured the tread depths and it looks as if we are heading for 15k miles out of the fronts (much better than the 10k of the Yokos). If I remember to swap fronts/backs every few thousand miles we should get 30k out of the set.

Actual tyre model: Advan A460 - original equipment and we've stuck with them. Being soft and grippy they complement this car's very firm ride. BUT fronts last only 10K; rears last 5+ years but car failed MoT because of cracked sidewalls. (OK, I should have swapped fronts-rears.) These tyres also split down the tread grooves. They're v. expensive and hard to come by. Now all four need replacing we're going for 185x55s and a different make (that's how I found this excellent site)!
