Thanks for your thoughts. I should have mentioned that the wear pattern is
constant across both front tyres and tyre pressures checked, every two
weeks. Cannot imagine tracking as beiing a problem. I do,however, recollect
many occasions when the front tyres "scrabble" to gain grip in the dry. I
shall look at bigger tyre suggestion.
Many thanks and Happy Motoring,
Wally.

If you want longer tyre life, do not fit P6000s; my Michelin Energy tyres
last about 25K miles on the front, I had 1 set of P6000s which lasted about
15K miles and they were extremely noisy in comparison to the Michelins.

Hi Martin-- Thanks for your input. Sadly, it came too late. Acting on
previous advice, I have just had 2x P6000`s fitted up front by
blackcircle.com. Hope to have better experience than yourself.
Happy Motoring

Wally.
