just take a little more care in the rain!

I am careful!! It's seriously crap in the wet - I can be doing 10mph, put my foot on the brakes, and it starts to slide!!

oh!!! didnt realise it was that bad.... sounds like the same issue as i had with the old BMW. After someone slashed all 4 of my tyres i could only get cheap ones on it that day and i needed to move car, they were terrible and used to aquaplane at any speed....

You may need to free up some cash then, or just hope the weather is ok for a couple of weeks!!

I'm blaming my back tyres at the moment - they're really cheap and nasty ones. They're also different tyres, and different ages! One is brand new, and the other has been on certainly since I bought the car , and almost certainly longer! Tread is ok, but I'm expecting the Toyos to make a big difference!

Nope - they haven't arrived yet! Then I need to find a tyre person who is happy to put them on for me - I've tried three and they will only do tyres they've sold

Yup -I'd do them myself, but my compressor takes about three years to blow up a tyre from empty!!!

I suspect heavy flirting may be my only option!
