When you say tigra wheels, are they the standard wheels off it? Or a set wheels that were just on the car? Is your car lowered?

s-drives are good t1rs are just a fuck site cheaper
never used rainsport but they are used in the vw fun cup and realy limit the cars and over heat causing them to fall to bits
not sure that could be achived on the road though

Rainsports rock. Pretty tough wearing through 'normal' driving. They are similar to the T1Rs in that the outer edge wears away quickest though

i had the same problem, then when i lowered my corsa about 100mm it was even worse. i ended up getting stretched tyres. they look sweet and will stop the scrubbing. not all tyre places will do it though so its best to go to a local tyre place rather than a kwik fit or something. however, i have checked and it is completely legal.
