Looking at my front tyres (currently Dunlop sports 165/60/12) i think soon i
will need new ones.  I corner pretty hard so it's my own fault, though I
have done 20k on them which i guess isn't bad.

Saw that Yokohama A048R (165/55/12) Tyre  are even lower profile (another 5%
lower which is 9mm), not sure if this is a good thing or not as I am pretty
close to the ground anyhow, though it means less tyre deflection on
cornering... The tred pattern is pretty wild though - are they road legal in
the UK?

If not then I'll put Yokohama 165-60-12 A539  on, which  is what I have on
the back and seem pretty good.  I am sure I paid more for them a year ago
than they are now.. perhaps I got ripped off, I thought I had paid 70 quid a
rim, though they are now 45 quid.. perhaps i am scaling the cost up in my
memory.. I'll have to check!
