I have found also running Ballistics in dry conditions are good aswell offer alot of grip and stability in the car but the wear rate isnt as good as Schumacher yellows,

In last 24 hours the weekend forecast has gone from heavy rain, to dry, to cloudy, to showers and back to heavy rain. So anyone's guess.

What time is it getting dark in Coventry as I'm leaving Southampton after work tomorrow. Staying at a hotel, but wanted to check the track out first etc.
