the nickname is ditchfinders, that's bad enough.
I have just done around 450 mile in a day from Norfolk to Scarbourough for the day, where all the dodgy old drivers seem to live, mix of weather on the way, so used in wet standing water etc, dry etc I really am impressed with Hancook Ventus V12 Evo, light years ahead of F1 that I've used, interestingly me gf astra just failed mot on the 2 year old F1's being cracked, both all across the face, deep cracking, with around 8-10 thousand miles on them.
Best VFM performance has to be rainsport 2 followed very closely by V12 evo's.
