yes. asa ageneral rule, tyres which have a good looking tread pattern perform better
paradas are all wrong. assimetrical tread doesnt look right, and doesnt work right. directional tread looks better, and works better

Not the look of the tyre, the look of the sidewall depth.
Tom - Yes my initials are RWD, the Plates to match my future wifes. She bought them hers is X6 SSD. The covers aren't on any more, i'm putting the new pics in my garage after PVS.

Toyos wear out quickly, very quickly. buy some expensive tyres (dunlop, michelin, goodyear, continental, pirelli) its the best way, they last longer, and work better

would you call 12k on the front tyres a quick wear rate? still weren't illegal either
