Tyre Troubles

Sir,

My -A” registered Audi 80 Sport is fitted with 185/60 HR14 Dunlop SP Sport D3 tyres.

Those at the front will not last 20,000 miles and, more particularly, display nts predictable handling characteristics in damp or wet road conditions.

Needing to shortly replace the front tyres, I wonder whether one of your readers can suggest a better suited make or type of tyre. Dovercourt M. W. TRENERRY
