    Default VT Wagon -What are the best rear tyres.

    My VT wagon has Yoko C drives that are down to the nubs in only 21 k.
    Has anyone tried the Bridgestone MY01 tyres -or know of a tyre that will actually get better mileage than what I am getting?

    I know that the wagon is hard on rubber in the rear but I do not want to make any drastic suspension changes as I will probably be trading in the not too distant future.

    What profile tyre are you running?

    A Softer compound gives a better ride and more traction however it doesnt last very long. If you put a very hard compound tyre on, it will last a LONG time however the ride is often poor and the grip levels are a lot lower.

    Having said that, normal driving a hard compound tyre is perfectly fine. I personally run a very soft compound on the front and a mid level on the back. Accelerational grip is nice, but braking grip is crucial.

    Im running 205x65x15.
    I know that the harder the longer the wear -just wondering if anyone had actual good wear and not bad handling from a particular tyre on the VT wagon?
