As you rightly say a great tyre otherwise, but if I recall your gal is a low mileage garage queen, if so likely to end up being a poor choice

I have after extensive research gone for Eagle Assy 5s on both my 70Rs. Been on about a year fantastic tyre but neighbour has an Audi A3 with them on she reckons 9k on the clock and fronts not got not much to go before need replacing- so perhaps I have made a poor choice !
Thanks for that info. When you say they go.out of shape, how does that manifest itself?. I am familiar with flats forming when standing: my Silver Cloud on Avon Turbospeed crossplies would form flats overnight and for the first couple of miles felt like square wheels. Once warmed up everything was fine. I've not come across radials doing similar.
