S6 still has brand new Kumho Ecstra Sport (235/35/19).
A very soft tyre, make a bit of noise and a few puffs of smoke going round corners at speed but they do grip
Ta very much
Are they the KU31 type? I had some in 185 55 14 on my Nova and were fantastic in the dry and good in the wet until they got down to about 3mm. Vredestein Sportrac 3s ftw if you're sticking with standard sizes on a B4, they hand Pirelli P6000s their arse! Never had a car which I could run P Zeros on but had some P6s which were a marked improvement over P6000s.

Must have been that spin in my 80
Main roads are just wet now but side roads are ungritted and slippy. Had a bit more snow today but noting like late last week. Probably will rain now

No suprise there Mark By the way, I'm so glad you posted the picture, you look so happy there, though I know it's very different underneath
Sat here fondly gazing at your picture, I dream of a day when you return to blighty and deep down I know it's the same for you
In my dream I'm waiting for you at airport arrivals, lots of people walk through but no sign of you then after what seemed like forever you appear and without warning, a million butterflies burst out of my body
Butterflies everywhere causing a "Health & Saftey" problem, you start running towards me and I fling open my welcoming loving arms, but no loving came :(Instead and like a 18stone rugby player you flattened me to the floor :roll:Looking back I should have realised the duty free shop was closing in 5 minutes

Now back to the weather. It's raining here tonight and with any luck it will thaw the frozen snow/slush, it's lethal that stuff.
