My missus bought a Rover 200 BRM which is fitted with 16s and 205 45 16 tyres.

The Falkens (says XE-502 and X1EX on the tyre) are on the front and the Dunlops (sport 9000) on the back. In the wet the front doesn't have much grip - its ok but nothing wonderful, would it be better to switch the wheels round so the Dunlops are on the front?

Wanna wear them out before moving on to F1's

Cheers
Neil
