	If at first you don't succeed, cut some more metal out.

ATS still have 10's in stock, but they are referred to as Trailer tyres and last time I checked they were Camac's which in my opinion is not my choice.
Try Enterprise tyres in Neath Abbey Industrial estate or Harris Tyres who are up by Llansamlet somewhere.

Years ago I was talking to a rally driver and he pointed out that you could have the best brake & suspension set up in the world but there's only a few square inches of rubber in contact with the road at any point and its the tyres that keep you on the road. Since then I've only fitted decent tyres and at £45 for a 165/60/12 yoko I'm not gonna moan to much

I tried falkens once, had them fitted in mid summer and loved them but I had a big suprise when the rain came along

I tried Yoko's once but It seemed that the tread disappeared very quickly but maybe that was something to do with my driving
