   i have these also but my suspension is nakerd at the moment i thinks because i carnt get grip at all.
   
   the back is worse than the frount so they outgrip my mich pilots on the back but that could be where the problem is lol.
   
   they were ace on my polo but they are very soft and do wear down very quickly.
