I put a set of Mitas tyres on my RP saloon shortly after I had it. Yes, they are quite 'grippy', but only lasted about 4000 miles. I replaced them with a set of Avon Triple Duties. 6000 miles and they still have plenty of tread. I have noticed that they are quite hard and are sensitive to tyre pressures. I am currently running them at 22lbs/sq in all round which seems to suit. They also have a tendency to accentuate the car's tendency to bump steer compared with the Mitas but this is not a problem if the pressures are not too high. Too much pressure and the car and the ride is harsh and the car is all over the road like a frightened rabbit at speed (above 45mph).
