Tyres for the Vauxhall Nova:

I had these on a Vauxhall Nova with a very stiff -40mm suspension kit. This became my only car and I did everything in it from shopping, to chinese food delivery every weekend over 2 years; the car was driven very very hard on almost every journey. These tyres were very good to begin with but became dangerous in the wet when the tread got to about 3mm (after 8000 miles). Dry grip was good and when the car run out of grip, it would gently break into understeer, letting you know what was happening. Wet grip is fine to begin with, as is their aquaplaning resistance. I replaced the fronts with Falken ZE512, these were not as good. I would buy these again for a lightweight car like a Nova (or modern equvalent: Saxo, 106, C1, Aygo et al) but not for a heavier car as I think they would wear out even quicker.
