Sounds like my sort of set up.

I have yet to relive my moments in the wet with the 33. Probably the most
controllable oversteery car I have ever owned, and I have had quite a lot of
RWDs in my time.

The wife had to have all four P-Zero slicks (after 6000 miles at the front)
on the GTV replaced the other day. I instructed her to get Goodyear F1s but
she couldn't remember F1 by the time she got to the tyre dealer (doh!) and
asked for Goodyears!

They fitted NCT5s So I guess we saved some dosh and probably gained some
miles wear.

Compared with the well worn P-Zeros they seem grippy enough.

I just hope she remembers not to race the Nova boys at the lights...

Thanks for all the advice, I've got a couple of weeks to mull it all over
before the old ones are down to 2mm.

I'm leaning towards sticking with the NCT5's......but we'll see!
