Dunlop RFs at the moment, but when they're due for replacement, I'll probably go with non RFs and a spacesaver, the cost of which will be the same as the RFs.

20" Dunlop RFT which need replacing soon.  Will buy RFT replacements, probably the same type or newer, but am looking at other makes to see if I can get something that lasts a lot longer.  I've only got just on 16k on the car and the Dunlops have only done around 10-11k of that and have 3-4mm left which is the point I start to get twitchy.  Old habit from working with Police cars which had mandatory changes at 3mm.

Winters are 19" Pirelli Scorpion 'Ice & Snow' RFT.

I've just put a full set of Bridgestones in the classifieds section, 7.3mm on the fronts, 5.5mm on the rears [emoji106]
