   punctures can be repaired. Just bought a pair of Kuhmo ecstas, good wet and dry grip. I bought them for creatures comfort as they are very good with road noise. Can't tell yet about the wear.

   then you are better and safer off with new tyres indeed. I do recommend these Kuhmos, good price too. They got reviewed as best tyres by the german Auto Bild which speaks volumes.

   Didn't fully believed it until I started driving with these on. Excellent price too:http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.p...m4b0s403p57293

   Uniroyal rainsport 2's get my vote, Id not just get one though, id buy a full set or at least two so you can have a pair or front or back

    Eagles f1s if you don't mind paying a bit more they have softer sidewalls so ace cornering but wear quicker obv. Think I'm going to go for a full set of t1-r

    the new ones (been out for a while now) is assymetric, you must be referring to the old design.

    Kuhmo Ecsta are good for grip and are good value for money! I've got them on my Golf.
    
    Got Toyos on my AX and they are awesome for grip but only last about 5 mins! lol
