I dont do tracks so thats not an issue, Id like grip in teh wet as we it pees own all the time in the UK and I feel the traction is coming on all too ofen at every start.
As long as there not stupdily noisy I dont mind. Just read that thread and im non the wise rlol, thugh Toyos seemed to get a mention a lot.
I do low miles a year so not lasting many miles is not an issue, think I do about 5,000 a year if that.
