They really do seem to be a Marmite tyre - I've had 'em on a couple of
cars and been hugely unimpressed. IIRC, they were on MikeP's MX5 when he
stuffed it in the wet...

I was surprised recently to get the best prices from National Tyres
online (for some Uniroyals). They were a tenner each cheaper than
Blackcircles and twenty quid cheaper than the National Tyres depot that
actually supplied and fitted them.

Oh yes, my favourite tyre. They actually gripped well in the dry, but
were awful in the wet. They were awful on the Puma in the wet too.Avons
on the next MX-5 were lovely tyres though.

The Activa has Michelins on. The only fault is they're a bit noisy.
Despite trying on some roundabouts and country roads , I've not come
close to having it slide, wet or dry. I'm beginning to get the impression
that if you go fast enough to lose an Activa, it's going to result in a
very nasty accident..
