          Just the cheapest tyres you can buy then, but the grip will be TRULY attrocious. I know of a couple of people that came to a tyre place I know, bought the cheapest tyres they could buy and then wrote their car / van off the first time it rained, as the wet weather grip was THAT bad .

              quality p/w's, you can buy a 18" tyre that would of cost nearly £200 quid each secondhand for say £35 quid a corner,remember a brand new tyre thats used is part worn the moment it goes down the road the first time.
              the key with part worners is too use a good company that checks and pressure tests them,dunks them in water for air leaks before fitted and always drive carefull for a while and check them before doing high speed manoovers.

                        Might consider letting these go for a song so you can have a pratt about in the wet for a bit. You'll then have to ditch them once you've mastered the art as they are pretty much on the wear blocks i'm afraid
                        Probably should have thrown them away by now really but can't help thinking could maybe get one track day out of them and turn them fully slick

                            thats what i have on mine,fine in the dry and ok in the damp but standing water is a no go.mission!

                            normal road tyres in future,i only bought them because i didnt want to use it in the wet.then i got caught out in the wet every time!

                              The thinking behind the idea was sound, just isnt really a winner in the real world is it neil. lol
